Clyde Waterfront Education

Glasgow River Festival by McAteer Photograph Ltd

A river of learning, a stream of ideas

This is a valuable educational resource to support teachers in the Clyde Waterfront area and to connect local young people with all the exciting developments happening along the river.

Clyde related lesson plans

Around 200 lesson plans are available on the site, providing a rich source of local material.  The site is ideal for teachers looking for material to use with pupils from Primary 6 to Secondary 3.

The resurgence of the Clyde's waterfront is being driven by a staggering £5 - 6 billion of investment. It will inject new dynamism into the area, re-establishing the river as one of the main arteries of the Scottish economy.

We'd like you to help us ensure that young people locally take advantage of these opportunities
