NSI at SHAPE

Last week we had the pleasure of returning to the Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Powers in Europe (SHAPE) in Belgium! We worked with talented students from the British, Canadian and Norwegian Sections. Young people worked with our brilliant practitioners Nik Perring and Emily Hopkins, creating thought provoking poetry, speeches and artwork, answering our competition question: How can we prevent future wars? Some of this work can be seen below, including a display made up of origami birds from children in each Section.

On the final day of our visit they presented their work, with a resounding request for adults to listen to young people. The Director General of SHAPE International School, Lutgart Claes, was in Attendance, along with The United Kingdom's National Military Representative (NMR), Air Commodore Steve Kilvington.

A huge thank you to the team at the British Section for their kind hospitality and well done to all pfo the students that took part!
