Youth achievements to be celebrated in 2018
A major programme of events and activities to celebrate Scotland’s young people will take place next year, the First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, will announce today.
A global first, the Year of Young People 2018, will provide a platform to showcase the personalities, talents and achievements of Scotland’s young people.
It will give people aged 8 to 26 new opportunities to influence decision-making on issues affecting their lives and be involved in cultural and sporting opportunities across the country. Young people have been involved in designing the programme, with more than 500 signed up to volunteer as Year of Young People 2018 Ambassadors.
