Coming to Raleigh This Summer!

Join the NC Council for the Social Studies, in partnership with the NC Museum of Art, in exploring the Religions of Raleigh from June 28 to June 30, 2025.

This exceptional professional learning opportunity offers a blend of virtual, in-person and onsite experiences, allowing educators and museum docents to deeply engage with the religious diversity in Raleigh and across the United States.

What You Will Learn:

☑️ Participants will experience religious literacy and diversity firsthand with onsite field trips to houses of worship, where they will uncover insights beyond what textbooks can provide  – a genuine understanding of “lived religions.”

☑️ Participants will learn to discern between academic and devotional ways of teaching about religion, equipping them with vital tools to confidently navigate the complexities of religious literacy education, whether in their classroom or at the museum.

Meet Your Guide:
Your guide for this journey, Vicki Garlock, is an experienced educator and skilled facilitator who will not only lead the tours but also provide rich historical and cultural context during our travel time between sites. With a gift for making complex ideas approachable and engaging, she will help connect what you see with what it means—both in Raleigh and beyond.

So seize this opportunity to elevate your teaching and expand your understanding of religious diversity and literacy. Don’t miss out on this transformative experience!
