St Saviour’s CofE Primary School in Walthamstow held their annual cultural celebration event on the 19th of July. 

Following on from Refugee Week, the students of the school have learnt about the lives of refugees and displacement across the world through “We Cannot Walk Alone” lessons. 

The event consisted of each year group displaying their artwork, completed over the course of the lessons. Each year the group produced art inspired by a particular artist who was either themselves a refugee or focused on the impacts of displacement and what the refugee experienced.

Artists included Nabil Amini and Ella Trudgeno, who came to visit the event themselves, as well as Shazia Ahmad who the children met online.
