Welcome to Allanton House!

Allanton House in south west Scotland is hard at work preparing to welcome 15 young Italians and 15 young Scots for a remarkable project. 

The young people will live for a week in the House and work intensively together on a British Council-funded project 'Exploring Stories of Cultural Integration'.  The project has been created to promote inclusion, mutual understanding and increased knowledge and awareness of cultures other than one's own. 

The young people will be meeting and working with residents of Dumfries and Galloway who have migrated here from other parts of the world, so D&G Multicultural Association are also closely involved.
