Today we did the first of three workshops we are conducting with the current year 6 at Hitherfield Primary School in London.

A conference where we would propose the motion ‘Is it better to work as an independent entity or to work in community with our neighbouring countries?’ The next day 17 million people in the UK voted to leave the European Union.
Suddenly I didn’t think the conference idea was so good after all, I mean the conference was a good idea but the subject matter seemed too raw, too provocative, too divisive
