New Birmingham Schools of Sanctuary exhibition

The Birmingham Schools of Sanctuary network has produced an exhibition which, at the moment, is on display in the very well-used training room of the Birmingham Pupil and Schools Support Base in the city centre.IMG_20170119_132620 (2) IMG_20170119_132541 (2)

Most Schools of Sanctuary submitted work and/or photographs, and we are hoping that the exhibition will grow as other schools get involved.  

Eight of the schools have recently had a networking meeting to share their ideas and provide mutual inspiration and support. They began to plan Refugee Week which is  an opportunity for including refugee issues in the curriculum. IMG_20170119_132429 (2)
