In a heartwarming collaboration between schools, St Egwin’s Middle School recently embarked on an educational journey to Prince Henry’s High School, where they had the unique opportunity to encounter the captivating statue of Hope. Crafted entirely out of Lego bricks, this remarkable sculpture has been touring the United Kingdom, symbolizing the resilience and spirit of the suffragette movement. Commissioned by the UK Parliament in 2018 and meticulously built by The Lego Group, the statue stands as a tribute to the ongoing struggle for women’s rights.
Named ‘Hope’ by the public through a campaign titled ‘#nameoursister,’ this Lego masterpiece serves as a beacon of inspiration for students and communities alike. As St Egwin’s students marveled at the intricacies of the statue, they engaged in discussions about the significance of women’s suffrage and the enduring power of hope in driving societal change. The visit not only enriched their understanding of history but also fostered a sense of unity and empowerment, reinforcing the importance of collective action in shaping a more equitable future.
Prince Henry’s students have had the opportunity to see Hope during lunch and break time and will have Citizenship lessons with her next week.
Thank you to everyone involved in making this wonderful visit possible.
