• Jeremy Barnes, Headteacher of All Saints Catholic Primary School,
Anfield, said it has been a wonderful opportunity.

Jeremy Barnes said: "We're extremely proud of [our pupils], it has all come through
their creativity, their ability to write this song, come up with the ideas, the concept and

with the support of the Liverpool Philharmonic to be able to produce the song at such
a professional level makes me extremely proud.

"Music crosses borders, music has the ability to unite and working with the British

Council has not simply been about Ukraine, we've worked with other countries as well
and it is something we will continue to do because it helps you emotionally connect

and show that solidarity with partners across the world, and in this case a country
that's going through such a difficult time."

Rachel Salmon, Senior Consultant at British Council said "I think it really helps young
people realise that there is actually a lot of similarities between them and their peers in

any part of the world.

"It was really heart-warming to see them connecting with each other and talking about
their favourite foods and finding commonalities."
