TEENAGERS DISCUSS PEACE ISSUES

Peace representatives visited Sibford School near Banbury on Thursday as part of Quaker Outreach Week.

Alice Meager from the West Midlands Quaker Peace Education Project, Anna Liddle from CND and Martha Beale from the Fellowship of Reconciliation conducted a number of workshops with Year 10 pupils examining issues such as conflict, blame and reconciliation.

Sibford head Michael Goodwin said: “Quakers translate their faith into action by supporting peacemakers, working for social justice and caring for the environment. The workshops gave pupils the opportunity to discuss significant peace issues and to look at different ways of resolving conflict situations.”
