To help in raising awareness of Endometriosis - Women Growing Together held a Walk-and-Talk with Endo Northwest at Queen's Park, Heywood.

Throughout the interfaith workshop, the children were actively engaged. They had many opportunities to share their own experiences and knowledge. To begin with they felt both religions had many differences, however by the end of the session they could see that both religions had many similarities. When asking for their key knowledge learned the children wrote the following similarities:

• Fasting -  Muslims – during Ramadan for 30 days. Christians during lent for 40 days.
• They both have a holy book and a book holder – Islam – Quran and Christians – The Bible
• They both do 5 prayers a day
• They both wash their bodies before prayers
• T hey both have a special holy place to visit – Muslims –Mecca and Christians –Jerusalem
• They both pray in a holy place – Muslims – Mosque and Christians- Church

The response from St Annes primary school

The workshop session was extremely beneficial and went along really nicely with the RE topic we were covering. The children were extremely engaged and offered excellent responses, due to the discussions being based on prior knowledge. The children have retained lots of interesting facts and we reflected afterwards.
