Our first social of 2024 took place on 13th February at The NewBridge Project. Sara Qaed led the session which helped us to reflect upon the ongoing tragedy unfolding in Gaza. Utilising one of her illustrations we considered the impact of the crisis upon mothers and their children, considering the impact of military action upon civilian populations, not just in the Middle East, but in war torn nations globally. Sara invited us to consider how we might begin to address such tragedies with our families and young people in order to support their understanding of the current climate.
