As we look back, we can see what has been enjoyed, and found useful, by our students, and plan the coming year.<\/p>\n

We went to Spain with the second years in March: a 5 night trip based around Cordoba – where we look at the interaction of Islamic, Christian and Jewish traditions. We visit\u00a0the\u00a0Mezquita<\/a>, The\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The Mezquita in Cordoba<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Jewish Museum<\/a>, Seville Cathedral<\/a>, Cordoba Alcazar<\/a>, Seville Real Alcazar<\/a>, Medina Azahara<\/a>, the Torre de la Calahorra museum<\/a>, an\u00a0archaeological\u00a0museum<\/a>, the bathhouse of the Caliphs<\/a>, and I’m sure I’ve missed somewhere out! It is a bust few days, but \u00a0an amazing trip where students gain a huge amount of understanding. There’s a report from the 2011 trip\u00a0HERE<\/a>, and pictures from the recent one\u00a0HERE<\/a>.. We have a tour guide for sections, and there is some free time too..<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Leicester for Diwali<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

London Visit<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

We also – in a perhaps less glamorous location – plan to repeat our visit to Diwali in Leicester: Our report is HERE<\/a>.. \u00a0Next year we plan to arrive in order to have a meal before we commence the visit. It might even not rain..<\/p>\n

We have also been to the Swaminaryan Hindu Temple in London (see HERE<\/a> for a report), which we hope to visit this year, as well as planning a trip to the Ashmolean museum in Oxford..<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Less picturesque but equally exciting is our plan to skype in some guest speakers next year, from as far away as Australia, for Q & A chats with our students. Of course we are also planning our lectures and day-to-day seminars, extra-curricular\u00a0plans and the like – you can get a taste of these on our course Facebook group at:\u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/RPEglos\/\u00a0<\/a>, or download our Course Leaflet HERE<\/a>..<\/p>\n
