Dozens of north-east school pupils have been taught the importance of human rights in honour of Anne Frank.
Youngsters from 12 schools across the region made presentations at the Grampian Regional Equality Council Anne Frank Awards.
Pupils from Bridge of Don, Harlaw, St Machar, Alford, Portlethen and Kemnay secondaries, as well as Banff, Macduff, Bramble Brae, Hillside, Hazlehead and Heathryburn primaries were involved.
Another nine schools submitted entries, but could not attend that event at Cineworld in Aberdeen’s Union Square.
They had researched a wide range of topics including north-east links to the slave trade, the work of Alliance LGBT groups and projects taking direct inspiration from the Diary of Anne Frank.
The Dutch-Jewish girl and her family spent two years hiding in Amsterdam, before being discovered and deported to concentration camps.
Aged 15, Anne Frank died in Bergen-Belsen camp in Germany.
The awards in her name first took place in 1995.
They were established to salute the courage of the young Dutch girl and her Jewish family who suffered as a result of Nazi persecution during the Second World War.
Organiser Dave Black said: “The GREC Anne Frank Awards have once again been an excellent way to highlight the importance of learning about the past and why equality and human rights are so important today.
“The children, teachers and support staff have put in a huge amount of work and we’re very proud to host them at the event today.”
