Shanley Breese recounts her experiences at the University of Edinburgh, facing discrimination and feeling alienated due to her accent and background, leading her to establish a support group for Scottish students.
The establishment of the Scottish Social Mobility Society aimed to bring together Scottish students from working-class backgrounds, as they often experience micro-aggressions and a sense of exclusion.
The University of Edinburgh is now advising its students to treat one another with respect, emphasizing the importance of being curious about interests instead of judging based on background.
With a significant portion of the university's intake coming from outside Scotland, Breese emphasizes the importance of fostering a more inclusive environment for local students.
