<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">BOBO Balde has represented Celtic's continued campaign against racism when he presented awards to children who had completed writing and artwork, symbolising the different forms of discrimination young people have experienced. The initiative, organised by the West of Scotland Racial Equality Council and the Public Authorities Racial Equality Forum Education Group, was held at Glasgow City Chambers and attended by Glasgow City Council representatives, including Deputy Director of Education, Margaret Doran. To provide a focus for the good work being carried out in this field, a competition was organised to produce a book entitled 'The Dignity of Difference'. To develop the book, a competition asked young people to provide artwork and written work reflecting their thoughts on racism. The book features the excellent work of a number of children from all over the West of Scotland. The decision to centre the competition on writing and artwork ensures that the impact of producing anti-racist work, and the promotion of diversity and equality goes into many schools, homes and organisations. Representing Celtic Football Club, Bobo presented awards to school children of all ages from education authorities including, East Dunbartonshire, Argyll and Bute, North Lanarkshire and South Ayrshire. Cllr Hanzala Malik, Chair of WSREC commented, "This is a very important event as it brings together partnerships who have prior experience in promoting diversity and race equality issues. "These are organisations that recognise the value of getting the message across to young people and their families in the West of Scotland. "It is important that repetition of this type of event is continuously developed ensuring full participation in particular with young people. With diversity, equality, respect and tolerance are given an opportunity to grow and flourish." As a Club open to all since 1888, Celtic Football Club has for a number of years worked on a range of initiatives to promote a strong anti-racism message and we were pleased again to support the work of the West of Scotland Racial Equality Council. Celtic will continue its work in this area to ensure that diversity and quality are promoted at all times. </div> Source - Celtic FC - News Good to see at least 1 team from Glasgow trying to stamp out racism..
