MODULES
A variety of presentation formats is available to complement the studies of higher education students. We are never too old for experiential learning, and many lecturers choose to provide a workshop for their students that tempers lecture and discussion with plenty of hands-on cultural experiences. Alternatively, some settings require a focused lecture format with questions and answers. In either case, we are here to facilitate any Hinduism event you may have in mind.
Explore below our higher education learning modules to see some possible Hinduism topics, learning activities, and presentation formats. Then continue on a tour via the green button at the bottom to learn more about topics and themes, prices, and planning for and booking your Hinduism day.
