Artwork captures sectarian attitudes Print E-mail
Tuesday, 25 September 2007

An artwork challenging sectarian attitudes created by a group of young Scots has been praised by Minister for Community safety Fergus Ewing.

The painting was created by pupils from the shared campus at St Joseph’s and Broomhouse Primary schools.

Ewing made the comments at the publication of a new booklet – ‘Count Us In: Promoting Understanding and Combating Sectarianism” – which documents successful instances where sectarianism has been challenged in schools.

Ewing said:

“The Scottish Government is committed to creating a Scotland of equal opportunities for all - a country where everyone has the chance to fulfil their potential regardless of their religion, race, age gender or creed. It is particularly encouraging to see young people help to spread the message that there is no place for sectarianism in a modern Scotland. They are the future - our future nurses, teachers, politicians and shopkeepers - that's why it's important that they don't develop sectarian attitudes.

“This good practice booklet should help teachers and others learn from what has worked in other schools to enhance their own work to challenge sectarian attitudes and I hope it can make a real difference.”

Speaking about the publication HM Senior Chief Inspector Graham Donaldson said:

“I am delighted to see this booklet launched as part of the HMIE 'Count Us In' series.  This shows clearly the positive contribution that schools can make to combating sectarianism.  It also shows how good practice can be identified and highlighted as a result of inspection.”
