19 September 2015, London − Newton Prep School
Children and Young People
Reflections on Our Future
Dialogue 2015
Rowan Williams and His Holiness the Dalai Lama hosted an event bringing together hundreds of children and young people. The event’s focus: the hopes and fears of a new generation. Some 645 children lined up along the arrival route to London’s Newton Prep, creating a grand procession as they sang a welcome song for him, Lord Williams and his entire entourage.
Young visitors performed and participated in the conference from the following charities and schools: Chickenshed, London Bubble, Christ the King Catholic Church, The Holy Spirit Church, The Hackney Pirates, Kid’s Venture, Newton Prep, St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Primary, St George’s Church of England Primary, Newton Prep School.
The monks from the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery in South India further enriched the day as they tapped out coloured sand into a sand mandala.
A society’s seriousness about its human future is measured largely by the kind of priority it gives to education.
