We are delighted that the First Minister will be joining us on our Lessons from Auschwitz Project visit from Glasgow in the autumn. The provisional dates we have for the seminars which will be held in Glasgow are: Orientation seminar – Sunday 21st October Follow-up seminar – Monday 5th November In terms of our two projects which took place from Scotland last autumn, please see the attached spreadsheet for a list of schools which participated from Edinburgh and Glasgow (please see each individual tab).
