A BIRD’S EYE VIEW ON HATE CRIME

Exhibition Open Friday 17th October - Tuesday 21st October 10am-5pm at Creative Stirling Venue, 44 King Street

We are proud to launch Forth Valley’s Hate Crime Awareness Campaign, a project led by Creative Stirling volunteers through our Lavender Lives (funded by Youth Arts Open Fund) and Jasmine Journeys (funded by Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund) projects.

The campaign was developed following findings from our Hate Crime Awareness Survey, which gathered over 100 responses from community members about their experiences of hate. Working with local artist David Galletly, supported by Police Scotland's Forth Valley EDI Coordinator, LGBT Youth Scotland, and guided by our Community Development Manager and Volunteer Youth Workers, the volunteer group created an animated campaign that explores not just how to report hate crime, but also where hate comes from, and how we can all help prevent it.

This powerful story, told through animation featuring birds, shows that it is never too late to challenge bias, change behaviour, and embrace diversity. The message is clear: every one of us has the power to make a difference.

Come and see the exhibition, watch the animation, learn more about the creative process, the story behind the project, and our collective vision for safer, kinder, more resilient communities.
