Zipp’s Trips Read At John Mackintosh Hall Library Storytelling Session
Zipp’s Trips, a book that was written by a group of six form students from Westside School and Bayside School, has featured as part of a library storytelling session.
The book is aimed at children aged 5 to 8 and was read yesterday morning at the children’s storytelling session by a volunteer speaker from the Trafalgar Theatre Group. The focus of the book is about embracing differences within our society thereby promoting empathy, equality and inclusion.
In March of this year, the Ministry of Equality presented a copy of this book to all children in the school years 2 and 3 as part of its equality and inclusion awareness campaign. Copies were also made available to HM Government of Gibraltar Departments, Agencies and Authorities at which there are public waiting areas frequented by children and public libraries.
The Minister for Equality, Samantha Sacramento, said: “On this occasion it has been a collaboration between the John Mackintosh Hall Library staff, the Trafalgar Theatre Group and the Ministry of Equality. My many thanks to all for participating and assisting in the spreading of the important message of inclusion, equality and its values. May this be the start of many collaborations.”
