Since it began in 2003, the Shared Road model has proved to be successful in reducing levels of racial tenison improving community safety, promoting greater understanding between young people from different backgrounds and fostering new friendships. The project aims to attract a 50/50 balance of indigenous people and refugees and asylum seekers. Activities include: • Outdoor Education • Sport • Performing arts and filmmaking Progression is a vital part of the journey which supports young people to find an opportunity after their participation with the Prince's Trust has ended. The project currently operates in Red Road, North Glasgow and Govanhill, South Glasgow. In September 2007, the project expanded into the Dumbarton Road corridor in the West of the city, another area with a substantive numbers of Refugee and Asylum Seeker families. In response to the growth of the programme, we now employ 3 project coordinators to deliver and run the projects in each area in addition to the Shared Road Programme Manager.
