ID:ea Project

ID:ea explores individuals and communities around the city in order to develop an educational resource pack that will allow young people to explore their identity and their community.

ID:ea will consider threats, issues and fears (through the eyes of young people) that communities face on a day to day basis, and how these threats, issues and fears manifest themselves in both the individual and the community. The project will also explore how organisations work to combat these issues through the services they provide to their service users/community/membership group.

Adult Learners Course

This course gives you the opportunity to discover and explore six major world religions; Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism.

It allows you to investigate, ask questions and draw your conclusions as to the beliefs, practices and traditions of each religion.

The course is delivered in a relaxing environment designed to encourage the participant to feel comfortable in asking those questions that you would feel uncomfortable asking in other situations.

You will have an opportunity to meet people who practice their faith. These people are specially chosen by Liverpool Community Spirit because of their openness and willingness to address challenging questions in a non-confrontational atmosphere of trust, friendship and honest pursuit of truth.

HMBF

The workshops involve practical activities in small groups: preparing, cooking and serving food for small groups in the local community there is story telling; and developing hospitality skills drawing from different cultural traditions a especially the Ethiopian tradition.

The faith and culture of Jamaica and Ethiopia gives us a concept of "The Hungry Must Be Fed" which is a prayer that all Jamaicans and Ethiopians would be familiar with in their reading of the Holy Bible.

The Hungry Must be Fed is in the process of creating a book on healthy food and inspirational stories about women to help the plight of women from East Africa who have been subjected to abuse by their employers when working in the Middle East, who are now seeking refuge in England. The book will be sold to raise money to pay for a Women from East Africa to be trained in counselling.
