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.
