The Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA) has launched its first primary and secondary school film competition for Scottish schools and is inviting young film-makers on Arran to get involved.
Scotland’s animal welfare charity visits schools every year to deliver its free prevention- through-education programme, encouraging pupils to become responsible animal citizens. The programme links in wiThmany areas of the Curriculum for Excellence and aims to encourage empathy and compassion towards animals.
Primary and secondary schools have been invited to submit a short film that educates the public, and in particular their peers, on key animal welfare issues that the Scottish SPCA regularly has to tackle.
