Interfaith Calendar 2009 Competition
Hampshire Interfaith
Network (HIN) and Hampshire Ethnic Minority & Traveller Achievement Service
(EMTAS) are working together to release an interfaith calendar for 2009. A
Competition is now underway in which children and young people from Hampshire
schools are invited to produce a drawing, painting, poem, photo or a mixture of
those to represent a religious event in any given month of the calendar year.
For example in December it could be the Christian celebration of the
incarnation at Christmas or the Hanukah of the Jewish faith.
12 winning entries will be selected and used to produce the Interfaith Calendar 2009. Winning schools will each be awarded £100 whereas each winning student/ group will be rewarded £30 worth of bookshop vouchers. Launch of the Interfaith Calendar 2009 is in December 2008. An electronic copy of the Calendar will also be available from this website
All queries and/or entries are to be forwarded to Milai Livingstone
at EMTAS no later than Friday 18 July 2008.

The History of Vaisakhi
This is a
“brief introduction to Vaisakhi” for you to share with members of the
Hampshire Interfaith Network, it will give with some information about Vaisakhi
and how the Sikhs celebrate it locally and nationally, however I would like to
emphasize this is my interpretation and I have produced it so people have a
understanding of Vaisakhi and that this is not endorsed by any Sikh
organisation. Provided by Malkeat Singh, Community Development Worker,
Southampton City Council. Vaisakhi will be celebrated in Southampton between 12
April and 20 April, if you would like to find out about the programme, contact
John Roath on 023 80 393440.
