Dundee’s Stobswell community is set to make a stand against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Locals will gather outside Morgan Academy on Wednesday night to call for peace and standing against the horrific war.
From 6pm, the distinctive blue and yellow Ukrainian national flag will be projected on the school building to keep up awareness around the conflict where citizens are being bombed in their homes, places of work and schools.
A spokesman for the Stobswell Forum said they believe that in 2022 “children shouldn’t be forced to face this type of trauma anywhere in the world.”
And they added: “With this act of solidarity with the people of Ukraine, we remind all members of the Morgan Academy and Stobswell community that we are not powerless.
“Our communities can change things for the better.”
Anyone is invited to the green in front of the academy between 6pm and 6.30pm tomorrow.
Organisers hope that with modern communications and social media, even if only a small number of people get to see this act in Dundee, Scotland and in the Ukraine it will be worthwhile.
The Stobswell Forum spokesman expressed thanks the Morgan Academy, AudioWAVE and the DISC Target Project for making the vigil happen.
- Morgan Academy is currently raising funds for the International Red Cross relief efforts in Ukraine.
Donations can be made on the night or online here.
