A workshop exploring personal storytelling aimed at hospice chaplains and others who work with the ill or dying. At the London Interfaith Centre in Queens Park.
In this workshop we will be introduced to working creatively with our personal life experiences.

One year has passed since the UK was condemned for its arms sales to authoritarian regimes in the Middle East and North Africa …but the UK is still supplying weapons to dictators.
This time last year, while UK weapons were being used against civilians in Libya, David Cameron went on a tour to promote weapons sales in the Middle East. In 2011, Saudi Arabia deployed armoured vehicles to help suppress protests in Bahrain, but UK arms sales to the kingdom never even slowed.
Now is the time to take action to expose that This is NOT OK.
