PeaceInsight - Wellington College

Running a peace encounter at Wellington School was interesting.
Its a feeder for Sandhurst Royal Military Academy, and the walls celebrated past imperial glories.

We were made to feel very at home, and I particularly enjoyed the grand avenues of Wellingtonias and Monkey Puzzles, which I'd read about before I'd even heard of the college!

As with last year, PeaceInsight brought together 8 Palestinian and 8 Israeli young people.

This two-week workshop is not easy. Some of the moments I'm proudest of came near the end
– the groups working, sharing, learning from one another and laughing together.

I'm not sure I'd trust the advice of a man in those shorts, Mr President

our very empathic Sahera is imagining too hard

fortunately our own versions of the song were more cheerful
