Today I attended a training day for 8-13 year olds from Tower Hamlets borough, the topic was Hate and Faith Crime. It was held at Oxford House. I was so impressed with the young people, who had a strong voice and were wise beyond their years and we as a society underestimate them. They deserve the people who teach them to be the best that they can. We had some guest speakers at the end of the day and the children listened carefully to some very dry comments. This was a multiracial group of kids, getting on together, adults take note. I was even a tree covered with postits with their ideas on Hate crime, even on my nose! but think it through, we have to advise children about Hate Crime, what a sad world.
It was a real privilige to meet these kids, who if you talk to them frankly and honestly respond so well.
PS I LOVE BETHNAL GREEN (TOWER HAMLETS ALL OVER) it has colour and life.
