Interreligious Dialogue and Pilgrimage

Lifelong Learning Payap and the Religion, Culture, and Peace Laboratory (RCPL) under the Department of Peace Studies at Payap University are teaming up to explore the various religious faith groups represented in Chiang Mai.  Together with students and faculty of the Peace Studies Ph. D. Program, 10 Lifelong Learning participants will have an opportunity to learn, primarily through on-site visits to local places of worship.   The series will be introduced by a presentation on Zoom by Dr. Rey Ty, Project Leader of the Interfaith Pilgrimage of the Religion, Culture and Peace Lab.  He will talk about Interfaith Collaboration in Chiang Mai and explain the objectives of the Religion, Culture and Peace lab program and our upcoming pilgrimage.  (Please see the schedule below.)

There will be two presentations on Zoom and seven on-site visits.  The program will run weekly from Wednesday, 7 September to 9 November.  (All but one class will be on Wednesdays.)

The cost of the program for Lifelong Learning participants will be 200TB per Zoom class and 250TB for on-site excursions (not including transportation to the site).  Participants can sign up and pay separately for each class they wish to attend, or register and pay for the entire series of 9 classes for 1,800TB.  Instructions on how to get to the site will be sent each week to those who register.  Car-pooling or ride sharing can be arranged, if requested.
