Holyrood has a sneaky PEEK at anti-sectarian message
Poster to go on display inside
Scottish Parliament
An anti-sectarian poster designed
by young people from Glasgow's east end is to
go on display at the Scottish Parliament.
PEEK, Possibilities
East End Kids, undertook a host of activities
to show sectarianism is not tolerated in Glasgow.

As well as designing the poster, they also produced
a short dvd entitled "Apart fae yer jersey yer
jst like me". This was showcased at the Tron Theatre
and Dynamic Earth, and the group's project also featured
on BBC 1's the Heaven and Earth Show.
PEEK was established
in October 2000, in response to local peoples calls
for provision to be made for their children. Local Ministers
and congregational members of St Lukes & St Andrews
and St Thomas Gallowgate Church believed working alongside
local children and their parents could provide opporunities
to broaden horizons through a caring and safe environment
for local kids.
Melodie Crumlin, project
development manager, said:
"The group is delighted to
promote our anti-sectarian message in somewhere of such
national importance, as it's something we feel very
strongly about.
"PEEK tries to listen to the
voices of local children and young people and help them
to meet their goals."
The poster will be on display inside Holyrood from
April 28 until May 1.
Ends.
