Everyone who  attended had the chance to:

• meet others who want their schools to help students, staff and the wider community members understand what it means to be seeking sanctuary and to extend a welcome to everyone as equal, valued members of the school community;

• learn from others how to develop a curriculum and a whole school ethos, that benefits and enables all in a school’s community, to empathise with the plight of others, and, through a range of strategies which stimulate critical thinking about human rights, to dispel negative myths surrounding those seeking refuge;

• be inspired by those with passion and enthusiasm for the work they have done, and are doing, under the ‘umbrellas’ of Schools of Sanctuary and the Global Learning Programme.

A delicious lunch was provided for all in attendance by Cotswold Cooks
