Tackling Inequalities
ANTI-SECTARIANISM WORKSHOP
PUT ON FOR SPORTS STUDENTS
SCOTLAND’S LEADING
ANTI-SECTARIAN CHARITY, NIL
BY MOUTH, HAS BEEN
DELIVERING WORKSHOPS TO
THE NEXT GENERATION OF
COACHES AT AYRSHIRE
COLLEGE’S TOWNHOLM
CAMPUS, IN ORDER TO
PROVIDE THEM WITH THE
INSIGHTS, TECHNIQUES AND
STRATEGIES THEY WILL NEED
IN THE WORKPLACE.
Although not all sectarian
offences are linked to sport, many
people associate sectarianism
with football.
Dave Scott, campaign director for
Nil By Mouth, spoke with groups
of Sports Coaching and
Development students to help
them understand what
sectarianism is and the
consequences it has on society.
He stressed how important it was
for them to know how to deal
with difficult situations once they
are in coaching jobs.
Nil By Mouth was established in
1999 and has called for a
nationwide rehabilitation
programme for people convicted
of sectarian offences.
