Established in 1990, Khalsa Foundation hosts the longest running premier Sikhi based residential events in the UK. Khalsa Camp, which was started in the summer of 1990 and is now assisted by our branches around the world, aims to provide the highest quality and most inspirational Sikh residential experience available in the world, with the objective of equipping our delegates with an in-depth knowledge of Guru Sahib’s teachings in a fun and friendly atmosphere.
With the advent of the internet, there is much knowledge which can be taken from online resources. However, after speaking with many elder and spiritually accomplished Gursikhs, it was realised that, as brilliant as these online resources may be, they lack in teaching the deeper aspect regarding the spiritual dimensions, to which one’s soul can transcend through the path of Sikhi.
Approaches such as the flipped classroom learning and technologies such as Flipgrid and other features within Microsoft Teams are being used to encourage learners to collaborate and amplify their voice. We recognise some learners might be shy and need encouragement to find their voice. Therefore by offering digital badges to encourage participation, we found that over 98% of campers enjoyed our virtual camps.
The virtual classes are led by experienced teachers and young professionals. Khalsa Foundation is at the forefront of digital online education for a Sikhi experience. Learners will find a wide variety of fun and engaging virtual activities.
The Khalsa Learning Hub will allow you to have conversations, attend virtual meetings and participate in class teams using a variety of apps including Microsoft Teams, Karma, Flipgrid, Kahoot, Quizlet, Polly, CS, Piazaa and Wakelet.
Learning is more fun with Khalsa Foundation as we use social and emotional learning with Sikhi badges to award participation and progress.
In 2020 and 2021, after the global pandemic limited our events, we shifted our resources online through virtual camps, seminars, mentoring and the learning hub. We have seen over 1000 interactions and have of over 300 hours of online educational resource material available via the Khalsa Learning Hub.
We aim to promote the wellbeing of all learners (children and families) by using technology to create communities of safe spaces where questions can be asked and learning can be developed and shared.
Our mission is simple; to help people discover the spirit within.
Khalsa Foundation has gone virtual and we launched our learning hub with regular sessions to help sangat connect with Guru Ji with participants joining us from all over the world from America, Canada, Denmark, Sweden, Spain and India.
All our Seva so far has been done by an amazing group of volunteers who take time out of their busy lives to give back to the community.

This year Khalsa Foundation has also launched ‘The Khalsa Mentoring Programme’. This is a programme empowering young Sikhs into leadership careers by developing their skills, confidence and industry awareness through mentorship and support. We hope to create a community of online support to help guide young Sikhs in all areas of academia; spirituality and professional development whilst also supporting one another in areas of wellbeing and happiness.
This is a programme where young Sikhs can have access to a range of Gursikhs who will share – information (on courses by different organisations; courses with reference to academic studies; tips on revision and studying plus professional guidance on how to progress within careers and professions).
When you become a student with Khalsa Foundation’s Khalsa Learning Hub you will have access to a fully searchable library of resources of videos and audio recordings for every lesson, event and activity. All classes for Gurbani Santhiya and Keertan will be delivered at different levels – Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced.
The Khalsa Learning Hub will allow you to have conversations, attend virtual meetings and participate in class teams using a variety of apps including Microsoft Teams, Karma, Flipgrid, Kahoot, Quizlet, Polly, CS, Piazaa and wakelet.
Learning is more fun with Khalsa Foundation as we use social and emotional learning with Sikhi badges to award participation and progress.
