Two youth groups, one Muslim and one Christian, came together to create a welcome sign for their community centre. The sign encourages all sections of the Isle of Dogs community to come into the centre. It is a stained glass mosaic, combining the artistic traditions of both Islam and Christianity.

The participants visited each other's places of worship and designed the piece of artwork to symbolise co-operation between the two groups. They also talked about their religions and about why it was important to understand each other's beliefs.

This is the second project that Save the Children has run in conjunction with Island House. The centre had never run an interfaith or global issues project before, but is now developing both of these strands of work.
