Great to welcome a second #HtFMeUs student cohort from The Lakes School today.
Huge thanks to Mr P, & the Yr9s taking up #AngelaandRobertsJourney, who contributed so thoughtfully today with post-its, bio poems & RAGs & then stayed behind to begin watching the documentary!

As polarization and disinformation deepen across Europe, emerging leaders are gathering to explore how to rebuild trust and strengthen democratic unity.

💭 How can we #ChangeTheConversation to restore faith in European democracy?

Wishing all in #RWBA, our Trust & #HtFMeUs communities marking Yom Kippur a meaningful day of reflection, prayer & renewal. As the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, it’s a time to fast, seek forgiveness, & begin the year with intention — ending with sounding of the shofar. G’mar chatima tova

On this day, in 1928, Holocaust survivor, Nobel laureate, humanitarian, activist, author & teacher, #ElieWiesel was born.
Our inspirational friend's #RWBAcademy #RWBA6 HGP support, guidance & encouragement was immense, his legacy continues.
His memory remains a blessing.
