Dear Reader,
In January, the Lord Mayor presented certificates and prizes to the winners of the first Coventry Schools Peace Poem Competition. The prize included a copy of the book containing all the poems submitted. The joint winners were a class of seven-year-olds from Keresley Grange Academy and eleven-year-old student Harry Lovelock from President Kennedy School.
Preparations are well underway for the Schools War, Peace and Reconciliation Conference in March, organised by the United Nations Association Coventry Branch in association with the Lord Mayor's Committee for Peace and Reconciliation. It will be held at Warwick University. Students can register by following the link on the page below.
Thank you for your continued support of our work in sharing news and events related to peace and reconciliation with communities in Coventry.
Please do let us know of any peace-related news or activities happening in or near Coventry and we will be happy to add them to our website http://coventrycityofpeace.uk and include them in a future edition of this newsletter.
Philip Brown
Chair, Coventry Lord Mayor's Committee for Peace & Reconciliation
