“We aim to Educate and Inspire”

“Our workshops are fun, invigorating and exciting”

“We bring the topics of India and Hinduism alive”

“We are extremely proud to be able to help with delivering a Multi-Cultural experience in schools”

Sunita delivers Cultural & Religious Workshops to schools throughout the Midlands, Yorkshire & Tyneside Regions, covering Indian & Hindu customs and traditions. The resources that Sunita brings with her to schools allow her to provide an exciting and rewarding day for both pupils and teachers.

Sunita has lived in Lincolnshire for over 15 years and truly understands how difficult it can be to teach the topics of India & Hinduism in rural areas. The aim of our workshop is to provide the class with a day full of activities that will have the pupils immersed in the culture, festivals, and traditions of India and Hinduism.

We firmly believe that children learn more effectively through enjoyment and we will try to stimulate your class so much so, that they will spend the rest of the topic feeling involved and interested and wanting to learn more.

Schools may request specific workshop activities to suit their learning objectives and where possible we will accommodate these.

‘Religious Education (RE) makes a significant contribution to pupils’ academic and personal development. It also plays a key role in promoting social cohesion and the virtues of respect and empathy, which are important in our diverse society. However, the potential of RE was not being realised fully in the majority of the schools surveyed for this report.’

Ofsted Report (Religious education: realising the potential)

“We make sure every year that we book Sunita to come into school.  She provides an enjoyable, stimulating and educational day that the kids love and where they are able to confront their own stereotypes.  Thank you Sunita, your Indian Experience is invaluable to us in educating the children about other cultures as they have very little experience”.

“What a fantastic day! All pupils said what a great time they’d had. We were amazed at how completely involved even our severe Autistic pupils were. The approach in presentation & resources was spot on & all activities were great. Thank you so much. You’re brill!”

Kate Isaacs.  The Priory Special School, Spalding. - Secondary School - "Moderate Learning Difficulties"

“The children were extremely engaged in all aspects of the workshop, even children who sometimes find it difficult to focus.  Children were buzzing after the dancing and were eager to talk about their experiences to their friends.  It has really been such a beneficial experience for the children in developing their knowledge which has been led by an inspiring practitioner.  Many thanks”.

“A fantastic, hands on session which brought elements of Indian cultures and traditions to life for the children. A real memory making workshop!” 

Lisa Wright, Year 3/4 Teacher.  Gonerby Hill Foot C of E Primary School, Grantham

“An absolutely fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable experience. The children were blown away by the experiential dancing, colourful resources and delightful story telling, which was such a perfect start to our Hinduism topic! I would whole heartedly recommend “The Indian Experience” to any school. The learning that emerged from it was superb. Thank you once again Mr & Mrs Patel. Kindest regards Jon Brown.”
