CCECH UK supports the Centre for Creativity in Education and Cultural Heritage, CCECH, in Israel which works with Jewish and Arab children in Israel through their schools, families and communities to promote understanding and coexistence. "CCECH uses the folklore and traditions of Jewish and Arab families to bind together the two groups, the Jewish and Arab children, who are sometimes fearful and often ignorant of the “other”. The children’s parents and grandparents are their offspring’s homework - traditional food, games and toys passed down generations, family stories and traditional songs. First, children ask their families about these things. Then they report back to their teachers and classmates; a lesson a week is earmarked for this. Next, a pair of classes, one from a Jewish and one from an Arab school, come together with their parents and teachers to share food, games and information. Over the course of the two to three years that the children and their families spend in the programme, barriers come down and trust grows. A ten year old Palestinian girl who lives in a Refugee Camp gave this feedback: I have never met Jews before. I thought that they only want to humiliate us. I have enjoyed playing with these girls and I have some new friends. I cannot believe how this is possible. I will tell my parents. A Jewish Israeli child said: At the beginning I was really really scared after everything I see in the news and what my parents say. I was scared that they would be violent and when they came I thought ‘what will they do to us – how will we mix, will we argue all the time?’ And, in the end, that’s not what happened - they were nice, like everybody."

FISH, Fishermen in Sculptural Heritage Registered charity number 1135142, was set up in 2007 to raise money for a statue to celebrate the fishing heritage of Brixham. It is the mother port of trawling and has links with many fishing ports around the world. From the time that the famous red sails began to appear until the present day fishermen have pitted themselves against the sea to bring home the silver harvest. Tales of heroism and loss are many down through the years, from man overboard to wrecks to miraculous rescues in great storms. Fishing continues to be at the heart and mainstay of this trusty harbour town and trawler race day is one of the most public faces of this. The statue will celebrate and commemorate those who were lost or buried at sea, their families, their heritage and their home port, Brixham. The 3m bronze statue is based on an etching by Arthur Briscoe, who drew the Brixham fishermen at work in the early 1900’s from the decks, and will be sculpted by Elisabeth Hadley also of Brixham. The statue is destined for the King’s Quay where it will be seen from the inner harbour and by returning vessels
