"School pupils have been telling how visits from refugees and asylum seekers have taught them lessons about the problems of prejudice.
The Positive Images project in Glasgow is run by the Red Cross along with volunteers from the refugee community.
It has reached more than 400 S1 and S2 pupils in four schools and aims to visit all secondaries in the city over the next two years.
A number of the volunteers were teachers in their home countries.
The project aims to encourage pupils to explore and understand issues of stereotyping and prejudice. "
