We had a wonderful Life of a Chickpea programme during Interfaith Week.

A big thank you to Humberside Police for sending two brilliant speakers, First Hope Church for their speaker, and Hull Jame Masjid for providing an Imam to speak.

Thank you to the school for including us in their Interfaith Week activities — it was a pleasure to be part of it.

Day 4 of International Week.
Thank you to the Dialogue Society for presenting their seminar ‘The Life of a Chickpea’ to our pupils. The seminar works to promoting the British values of democracy, individual liberty and mutual respect. Also, thanks to Kelsang Lekmo from the Madhyamaka Kadampa Centre for delivering a talk on Buddhism.

Our pupils have also had a chance to watch ‘The Walk’, a film centred on the famous art project puppet, Little Amal, whose long journey represented the hardships faced by refugees.
