Pupils from Shawlands Academy and Holyrood Secondary School have been developing their web skills by designing and building web sites that explore issues of diversity related to their own lives, such as anti-sectarianism and ethnic cultures. It is hoped that by building the sites the pupils will be able to share their experiences of social inclusion and diversity with a wider audience.

The project will culminate in an award ceremony at Celtic Park, home to Celtic FC where participants will be presented with certificates by a member of the team.
