Youth Scotland, as part of a partnership of six national volunteer-led youth organisations, has recently been funded to support the Scottish Government to develop a community-based approach to tackling sectarianism. The Stand Up to Sectarianism project offers free resources, training and funding to support youth workers, volunteers and young people to introduce and develop anti-sectarian based work in their groups.
This national project offers free worker training and funding opportunities to youth groups across the country, alongside a new e-resource(www.youthworkessentials.org/stand-up-to-sectarianism.aspx). The e-resource provides accessible background information on sectarianism in Scotland, as well as practical ideas and downloadable session plans for use in youth work settings. Youth Scotland would welcome any feedback on the new e-resource.
