School Children Discover Faithful Butetown

With such a rich history of multiculturism, Butetown provides the ideal opportunity for school children to learn how different faith communities can live side by side.

Pupils from St Nicholas CinW Primary School joined Fr Dean from South Cardiff Ministry Area on a Faithful Butetown Walk, where they visited statues of Betty Campbell and Ghandi,

St Mary’s Church, Butetown, the Norwegian Church, Cardiff Islamic Centre and St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church.

The children were then given the opportunity to ask questions of Iman Mohammed and Very Reverend Archimandrite Nicholas Price, whilst learning how generations of faith communities have co-existed and thrived in Butetown.

The Faithful Butetown Walk is approximately 1.3miles and can be adapted to meet your needs.

Developing children and young people as ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world is one of the four purposes of the Curriculum for Wales 2020.
