Online hub celebrates Scottish connections with eastern and central Europe
First, second and third generation Scots are being encouraged to share their experiences by uploading photos, images and stories to Scottish Connections (www.scotlandagainstracism.com/connections) – a new online hub to promote Scotland’s links with central and eastern Europe.
The online hub is part of the Scottish Government’s One Scotland anti-racism campaign and has already received support from top Scottish Premier League footballers Dusan Pernis of Dundee Utd, Marian Kello and Marius Zaliukas of Hearts; and Lukasz Zaluska and Milan Misun of Celtic. The footballers, along with first, second and third generation Scots have stepped up to reflect and share on their experiences of migrating to and from Scotland.
Scottish Connections is dedicated to sharing information, real stories, images and thoughts on heritage from those connected to the central and eastern European countries, who are either:
- Scots whose parents or grandparents came here from eastern or central Europeans countries in the early part of the 20th century
- Czechs, Estonians, Hungarians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Poles, Slovakians, Slovenians, Romanians and Bulgarians living in Scotland
- Scots who have emigrated to eastern and central Europe
Scots have had a positive, historical relationship with these countries for many years however racist attitudes can sometimes prevent our nation from recognising the value and contribution that migrants bring to our economy and our culture.
The new hub will seek to honour this relationship by emphasising that eastern and central Europeans migrating to Scotland is not a new trend and by highlighting that everyone is contributing to a better Scotland.
