蜜桃导航

A teacher in Epping is doing his bit for world peace.

St Monica鈥檚 College鈥檚 social justice co-ordinator Fadi Elbarbar wants his students to understand and appreciate every religion, so he鈥檚 taken his teaching beyond the classroom.

Earlier this month, a group of students from the Catholic school spent a few hours at 蜜桃导航 to meet fellow students and discuss each other鈥檚 cultures and faiths.

Mr Elbarbar said the two Epping schools decided that the best way to teach students about each other鈥檚 culture and religion 鈥� Islam and Christianity 鈥� was to organise regular visits. The day鈥檚 schedule included a school tour, student presentations, a tour of the "Islamic Museum of Australia" in Northcote and a joint prayer time back at 蜜桃导航.

Mr Elbarbar hopes the initiative can be broadened to other schools and faiths.

鈥淚 hope these meetings will break down the barriers that at times seem to provide quite a challenge to society,鈥� he said. 鈥淭his is a great opportunity for students to broaden their understanding of other cultures and religions, not just by reading a text book but by a genuine interchange with similar-aged students.鈥�
