Diving for Pearls is a participatory, multi-media project coordinated by Govan & Craigton Integration Network.

Inspired by Clive Langer and Elvis Costello’s song Shipbuilding, it will explore the cultural, social and economic impact of the shipbuilding industry on the population of Govan by focusing on and bringing together people with migrant histories: from the descendants of Highland and Irish settlers to the more recent arrivals from Europe, and refugees from around the world.

The project, funded mainly through the Heritage Lottery Fund, will run for 12 months. Find out the latest news here, or to read more about the project and its progress check out the blog here.
