The Religious Diversity Journeys Program aims to expose students to a better understanding of those who may look and / or believe differently. Twenty five (25) seventh grade students will have the chance to learn about various faith traditions. Starting at November 19th, students of our district will join students from other surrounding districts to visit five (5) houses of worship, in addition to The Detroit Institute of Arts.
The goal is certainly not to convert, but to educate. One of the first objectives of theses journeys that will be led by program director Meredith Skowronski and the Inter Faith council is to break down barriers among people of different religions.
