  • Motion reference: S6M-14300

That the Parliament welcomes the return of the Glasgow Doors Open Days festival, which will run from 16 to 22 September 2024; understands that the festival has been organised by Glasgow Building Preservation since it began in 1990 as part of the City of Culture celebrations, and that it is now in its 35th year; notes that the theme of this year’s festival is "We’re All Here: Diversity of Diaspora", focusing, it understands, on how immigration and emigration have shaped Glasgow into the multicultural place that it is today and inviting people to explore how diaspora communities have influenced and contributed to Glasgow’s rich cultural heritage; notes that the week-long programme of events allows residents and visitors alike the opportunity to access open buildings, guided walks and talks, all for free, and wishes all involved in this popular festival all the best for its continued success.
