I am off to the Atlas Mountains tomorrow to climb the highest mountain in North Africa. I am raising money for Offscreen to help create better understanding between young people in the Middle East and the UK.

The funds will help us to involve more countries in the Middle East in our work and roll out our workshops programme to more schools in the UK.

How can you help?

We are raising funds online (click here) and please forward this email far and wide.

The Offscreen Education Programme is expanding rapidly and we want to reach far more young people in the UK and Middle East, so that they can develop proper understanding away from the flurry of negative and stereo-typed news headlines.

The video still makes me a bit teary.

So many thank you’s and salaams!
