Glasgow schoolgirls awarded international prize for feminist COP26 event

Over 2500 S3 pupils participated as schools joined forces to discuss global issues around environment and gender.

THIRD year girls from secondary schools in Glasgow are celebrating, as their “Girls@COP26” event took home a prestigious international award for innovation and youth education.

The Sister Cities International award was awarded to the Sister Cities Association, based in the US city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The association worked in coalition with Glasgow City Council, Glasgow Caledonian University’s Mary Robinson Centre for Climate Justice and the Women of the World (WOW) Foundation to “give girls a voice” during the United Nations COP26 summit held in Glasgow last year.
