Website launch event

The launch of the Clyde Waterfront Education website took place on Monday 16th June at the new BBC Scotland headquarters at Pacific Quay on the Clyde with an event for educationalists, business people and developers.

Communities and Sports Minister Stewart Maxwell MSP announced the launch of the Clyde Waterfront Education website. With over 200 lesson plans, the site is now poised to provide an online resource for teachers which will be used to connect pupils with the dramatic developments taking shape along the River Clyde.

Welcoming the launch of the initiative, Communities Minister Stewart Maxwell, said:

“The River Clyde is synonymous with shipbuilding, and historically is renowned as the world’s greatest engineering power house.”

“This innovative activity is offering young people the opportunity to learn in a truly exciting and engaging way, linking what they hear in the classroom to life beyond school and encouraging them to become enterprising citizens.“

“I welcome the opportunity for pupils to hear about the history of the River Clyde and the exciting opportunities arising from the major investments that are driving the regeneration of the Waterfront.  This initiative will allow them to see first hand the work of the many employers represented along the riverside and encourage them to become involved in making their local area a better place to live.”
