Young people across Stirling area are being urged to share their thoughts on what inspires them.

People from the Mid–Scotland and Fife region are asked to inform the Scottish Parliament of their inspirations in order to be in with an opportunity to go to Holyrood or for Presiding Officer Ken Macintosh to come to them.

To celebrate the Year of Young People, the Parliament has developed a number of activities designed to give young people a stronger voice at Holyrood.

Mr Macintosh said:“As a Parliament we need to know what is important to everyone growing up in Scotland and I hope young people from across this country will come forward and share their stories and their experiences with us.

“I’m really looking forward to travelling the length and breadth of Scotland to meet young people, to spend some time hearing more about what matters to them and how the Parliament can help make a difference.”

The Presiding Officer will meet with eight young people or groups of young people from across Scotland.

All types of activities will be considered so people can apply to take part by answering the following question – what inspires you in your life and what helps you keep moving forward?
