A group of girls from the Hasmonean High School joined Muslim peers for an interfaith soccer day at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium arranged by Faiths Forum for London.
The 30 girls aged 13 and 14 learned about equality and diversity with the Professional Footballers Association before going on to train with female coaches from the club and play.
Hannah Bezalel, a Hasmonean student, said, “It was a really great experience, especially considering that I got to meet and learn about a different religion.”
Maria Chapman, PE Teacher at Hasmonean said, “ Our students very much enjoyed the whole experience. During the equalities session, the girls took the opportunity to socialise with the students from Al-Khoie, often finding it easy to find similarities between them.”
