Mums play out issues
Date published: 11 July 2014
A GROUP of Oldham mums performed a play to their children to educate them in social integration and issues around prejudice.
The Women’s Chai Morning is a support group of mums from the Greenhill Academy community who meet to discuss children’s well-being and community issues.
Founder of the group Najma Khalid wrote and produced a play which 16 mums played a part in at the academy.
The play covered topics such as prejudice and bullying in the context of local communities in Oldham.
Najma said: “We have a lot of creative talent locally — I myself have been searching for opportunities to develop and utilise my artistic and creative skills.
“This project has been challenging, great fun and inspiring.”
