One week after the attack on Westminster Bridge in Central London where 4 people were tragically killed, thousands joined together to pay their respects and remember those injured.
Organisers said the event showed, "We will not be divided, Linking all nations, faiths, orientation and sexes."
Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association UK attended the march wearing T-shirts that read, "I'm a Muslim, ask me anything".
What do you see in the picture?
Where is it taken?
What happened there one week ago?
Explain the story
- Who attended this march? Why did they attend?
- Did people of only one faith attend? Are there different genders, ages, ethnicity?
- What does this march show about the UK today?
- What do the organisers mean by, "Linking all nations, faiths, orientations, sexes"?
- Why are members of the Muslim Youth Association wearing T-shirts saying, "Ask me anything"?
- How does dialogue help to break down prejudice and misunderstanding?
- Some banners read, "Love for all, hatred for none" what does this mean?
- Why is this story about No Outsiders?
Note: When talking about tragic events such as terror attacks to young people, explain that not everyone agrees with us and no outsiders. Some people want one race, one religion, one kind of person It's the opposite to us; we want lots of different races, different religions, different kinds of people. That's why it is so important that we spread our no outsiders message and keep talking about it. If you meet someone who doesn't understand about diversity and difference, talk to them.
I'll be reading "This is our house" by Michael Rosen to go with this assembly picture and linking the last line to living in the UK: "The UK is for everyone!"
