photographs of students and
staff at Ayrshire College holding
signs to show their passion
and dedication to supporting
progressive legislation and
culture for LGBT+ people.
Students commented that it
made them feel included in the
College community.
Lastly, the podcasts for
#JoinTheConversation were an
opportunity for staff, students
and local service providers to talk
about all things LGBT+.
Feedback from students about
#JoinTheConversation was
exceptionally positive, and several
students remarked that they felt
included and felt secure knowing
that Ayrshire College and ACSA
take hate crime exceptionally
seriously and do not tolerate any
discrimination.
#JoinTheConversation won NUS
Scotland LGBT Campaign of
the Year 2015! We’re very proud
to say that Ayrshire is producing
campaigns that really have the
WOW factor!
Thank you to all the students
and staff who took part in our
amazing campaign! We don’t
want the great work to stop after
LGBT History Month, so please
get in touch with the Student
Association to find out more
about our Liberation work.
Students visit the
Scottish Parliament
NC Travel and Tourism
students had the pleasure
of visiting the Scottish
Parliament recently as part
of their core skills units.
Richard Toner was one of
the students on the visit. He
explained to Ayrshire College’s
Marketing and PR Officer
Martin Currie what the trip
to Edinburgh was like for the
class.
“When we arrived at the
Scottish Parliament we met
up with Fergus Ewing, who
is Scotland’s Minister for
Business, Energy and Tourism.
“As we’re a travel and tourism
class, we asked him questions
about the tourism industry
– both presently and looking
into the future.
“Mr Ewing said that our
questions were better than
some of the politicians in
the chamber! He was really
generous with his time and
we got pictures with him as
we handed over an Ayrshire
College hoodie.
