The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Aye Right project, which is a collaboration between Forrester and St Augustine’s high schools in Edinburgh; welcomes the work carried out by the students and staff who worked alongside the City of Edinburgh Council Community Learning and Development Department and the artist, Martin Ayres, to help promote an awareness of young people’s rights and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child; understands that, using a triptych style, they produced a photographic exhibition that was based on a painting created at the time of the Holocaust; believes that this created powerful images of young people by young people, and notes that, before going on public display at schools and elsewhere around Edinburgh, the exhibition was displayed at the Parliament on Universal Children’s Day, 20 November 2013.
