Extend the hand of friendship

Can we make a comparison between the children of Nazi perpetrators and the children of IS or Russian children now? Think about current or recent conflicts and the impact on innocent young lives. Read the articles below and try to imagine the difficulties faced by a child in these circumstances.

UK local news article: Cheshire boy, 11, bullied for speaking Russian following invasion in Ukraine

BBC article: The children of IS: 'It's a disaster we cannot deal with'

If you could message a Russian child living in your country or a child of IS, what would you send/say? You may wish to extend friendship, or offer a more neutral message of support to that child at this difficult time.
