We had three great days working with you guys in year 9 to learn more about the issues of Justice and Peace. After beginning with some difficult and sometimes deceiving games we were prepared with a better understanding of some of the issues of injustice in our world today and we were able to get to work on taking action and making a difference. Everyone took part in four different activities – hot seating where we talked about the issues that had been raised in the games, letter writing where we wrote to the prime minister about what we had learnt, photo promises where we made a promise to take action and then were photographed with this promise to provide an example to others. Finally through prayer we offered up what we’d learnt and done to God and asked for his help.
Our days ended with a final liturgy or mass which you guys prepared and led with some fantastic prayers, dramas and songs. Thanks for a great few days and keep an eye out for the replies to your letters from Downing Street!
