Children in the east end of the city have been busy being creative over the last few months on a project that has addressed what they need in their lives to be safe, healthy and happy.

The StreetsAhead project, run by the Children’s Parliament, has produced a marvellous audio and visual mural to be unveiled by the children at the launch at the City Chambers on Wednesday. The primary pupils from St Michael’s, St Anne’s and Dalmarnock, have created the colourful mural to showcase their hopes for the future and their collective wish to live in a culture of non-violence and respect in their community.

In special school workshops, the P6 and P7 youngsters have been encouraged to think about their lives and communities and the positive and negative aspects they encounter.
The results formed the basis of the mural which was designed over five days by 20 children working together from the three schools.
