Schools

The following are some responses from schools to CAABU’s
Visiting Speaker Service.

Canford School

"I really do appreciate your extremely knowledgeable and interesting approach to the subject and your words certainly provided plenty of food for thought. The staff were very complimentary and even those who profess to know everything (at least, that's the impression given!) appreciated the wide variety of issues covered. I'm always amazed how little students know about the origins of the Conflict and in the present climate, along with Yasser Arafat's death, your words have even more significance.

I hope that we may be able to tempt you back here again in the future."

Clough Hall Technology School

"[The students] are still talking about the talk and have mentioned many things I thought they did not hear. They especially keep bringing up the point that racism against Arabs is just as wrong as any other form of racism."

The Skinners’ School

"They enjoyed the talk very much – they were impressed that a ‘woman’ was giving a talk on Islamophobia (they didn’t expect this!)"

Haberdashers’ Aske’s

“Your talk sparked considerable controversy… While some disagreed very strongly with what you said there were many others who were grateful to hear presented a viewpoint they had not been aware of before”

Bristol Grammar School

"I hope that it may not be too long before we are able to call upon your services again. It's so good to make young people think!"

Bedales School

"My colleagues and I were very impressed at the skilful way you engaged the students from the outset, encouraging them to think, voice their opinions and ask searching questions."
