Lesson Number Topic title Subject specific detail Guidance Learning activity Resources Lesson 24 The Langar This covers the practice of eating together. It links the topics about equality, sewa and the gurdwara together. Students need to understand that serving in the langar is an important aspect of sewa and another aspect of worship. It is also an expression of equality. Langar is sometimes called “the laboratory of sewa”. The website is devoted to the provision of a langar-for-all in Manchester every Sunday – a service to the homeless of the city. Students could recap what Sewa means by looking at a short PowerPoint on it or by answering a simple question. Students look at images of the langar and write down all the jobs that a Sikh could do in relation to sewa, connecting it to whether it involves Man, Tan or Dhan. They could then create a mind map on sewa, what is it and how they could offer selfless service to the sangat (community). Students could do a practical exercise that mirrors what would happen in the gurdwara each week (even using real food!). They could draw up a rota of tasks involved in preparation and clearing up, a vegetarian menu (so no one is excluded), a calculation (involving numeracy skills) of how much food is needed to feed, say, a 100 worshippers etc.
