Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is one of the most important celebrations in the Hindu calendar.

It symbolises the victory of light over darkness and good over evil, and is marked by families coming together, lighting lamps (diyas), sharing food, and enjoying music and dance.

In schools, Diwali is a fantastic opportunity to enrich RE lessons and cultural learning, while offering children a vibrant and memorable experience linked to the celebration. Our practical workshops provide an exciting way to explore aspects of Diwali in a meaningful, active and age-appropriate way.
