ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
This programme examines the role of festivals as seen through the eyes of Andrew, a schoolboy. It
considers the importance and impact festivals have on our lives in terms of helping us learn about
our cultural heritage. Through the eyes of the ghosts of festivals past, present and future we are
introduced to a series of celebrations on a local, national and international stage.
With Andrew, we're transported to India, Lebanon, Japan and New York to witness how festivals are
celebrated there and examine the religious aspects of Ramadan, Yom Kippur and Diwali.

By the end of the programme pupils should be able to:
