What is the Equality Cat?
As part of Diversity Week Fife 2017, Fife Centre for Equalities launched the Equality Cat Design Competition to get young people involved in topics such as equality, diversity and inclusion. The aim of the competition was to design a mascot called the “Equality Cat” that could help us promote the message of equality, diversity and inclusion in Fife and beyond. There were 3 age categories within the contest.
- Ages 5-8: Design the Equality Cat
- Ages 9-12: Design the Equality Cat and a slogan that your cat can use
- Ages 13-16: Create a short comic strip featuring the Equality Cat
Unfortunately the competition is now over! You can check out the winners here.
