Cross-school collaboration for Refugee Week

27th June 2023J Ranson

Last week, our School of Sanctuary group joined forces with Norham High, another School of Sanctuary organisation. This means that both schools have committed to a pledge to create a culture of welcome and inclusion for refugees and people seeking asylum.

In an event organised by Norham, and hosted by Marden, the two schools took part in a series of games and activities to promote teamwork, togetherness and recognising differences, all to celebrate the theme of Hope during Refugee Week.

Please enjoy the video slideshow below and check out our School of Sanctuary webpage for more information on the organisation.
