Cheeky, playful, graceful and focused are four words that well described the work of 80 or so senior members of the Church Mission Society as they took part in our World to Rights drama project the High Leigh CMS conference over the weekend.
The aim of our session was to give the conference delegates a flavour of what children are getting up to up and down the country engaging themselves in drama about child rights both in history and today. The best way to do this was to let them have a go. As always it was a pleasure to work with this special generation and see how they transformed themselves from passively sitting on seats to become an energised group enacting scenes from a Manchester Cotton Mill, The Streets of London and a Victorian Circus.
As one Member exclaimed:
"I am 7 years short of a century and can remember a time when life for many children was actually like this".
World to Rights continues this week in Doncaster and then we're off to Liverpool next week.
