New Inclusion and Diversity Guidelines are launched today, 10th March 2011, at Shawlands Academy in Glasgow.
Over three years five schools across Glasgow have taken part in initiatives set up by Glasgow City Council to promote social cohesion. The schools involved were Shawlands Academy, Holyrood Secondary School, Hillhead High School, Lourdes Secondary School and All Saints Secondary School. Each school put forward 20 pupils.
Key to the programme was that the pupils themselves shaped the initiatives that took place in their respective schools. Projects included a performance arts piece to welcome migrant pupils to the school. Performance dance was used to avoid language barriers, a music festival where the pupils used their respective musical styles to welcome each other, a diversity week where parts of the timetable were collapsed and time was devoted to intercultural teaching materials.
