In February Sense over Sectarianism (SOS) held a "National Week of Action" for the Sixth time for schools across Scotland. Working in partnership with Action on Sectarianism the SOS National Week of Action mainly featured a poster competition across the week of 24th - 28th February and indeed the run up too.
Posters Art Competition
The key element of the month of action once again was the National Tackling Sectarianism schools Poster Art competition which attracted huge interest and a daily series of X (Twitter) posts highlighting entries from primary and secondary schools.
Pupils were invited to make a Poster about the topic of sectarianism/tackling sectarianism.
The winners of the National Poster Art awards were as follows: -
Primary Award winner was Annie from P7 at Glasgow Gaelic Primary School in the West End of Glasgow.
Secondary Schools Award winner was Daisy from Smithycroft Secondary School in the North East of Glasgow
X (Twitter) Activity
The ten finalist poster entries were detailed on X (Twitter) in a popular vote where the winners were the entries which received the most "likes" in each category.
These finalists were viewed on twitter more than 18,000 times and received hundreds of "likes"!
Both competition winners and the entries of the finalists can be found on the Sense over Sectarianism X account @sos_glasgow and Action on Sectarianism twitter account @AoSectarianism
