A flash mob highlighting Scotland’s solidarity towards migrants, refugees and asylum seekers brought happiness to one of the country’s busiest tourist attractions.

Around 25 people of all ages, from all over the world, performed a choreographed routine to Happy by Pharrell Williams in the main hall at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum on Sunday afternoon.

The dancers all wore t-shirts promoting the research findings of a European funded project TransSOL which established one in three people in Scotland have shown solidarity towards migrants, refugees and asylum seekers.

The performance, organised by the Yunus Centre for Social Business and Health at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU), brought the curtain down on a weekend of fun activities at the museum as part of Glasgow Science Festival.

Researchers from GCU are leading a new £2.5 million Europe-wide project that will explore how to integrate migrants, refugees and asylum applicants into European Labour markets.

SIRIUS sees GCU coordinate the research of nine universities in seven countries. It is hoped the project will help shape international policy on supporting access to quality work opportunities and working conditions.

Professor Simone Baglioni, of the Yunus Centre, said: “The SIRIUS project believes it is in all our interests to integrate and that the fastest way to achieve that is through work.

“We have to help people into work and also help employers and society make the most of the wealth of skills refugees can bring.”
