ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ ΠΡΟΓΡΑΜΜΑΤΟΣ

What?
The aim of the course is to provide an introduction to Hinduism, its beliefs, practices and significance for
young European people today. It follows many previous courses at the ASHA Centre that have been either
about Interfaith Dialogue in general or Islam in particular.
Why?
Interfaith dialogue in Europe is often focused on the so-called ‘Abrahamic’ faiths of Judaism, Christianity and
Islam. This approach to religions is often to the detriment of religions originating in other parts of the world,
which, in terms of population, antiquity, historical influence and cultural richness are just as important;
Hinduism is the third largest religion in the world and of these large religions, the very oldest one. This
course seeks to do justice to that fact in the context of interfaith dialogue.
How?
The course will use non-formal educational methods, including presentations, group work, sharing and
games. Specific sessions will look at practices like yoga and meditation, include a visit to a beautiful Hindu
Temple, question and answer sessions with Hindus about their religion, an Indian story telling session, and
an exploration of Indian history and philosophy.
