Young islanders to have their say
18 January 2021 at 16:45:44
New network set up to give platform for young people across Scotland's islands.
Children and young people from all 96 of Scotland's inhabited islands will be able to have their say and make their voice heard on issues in their communities through the setting up of a new forum.
The new Young Islanders Network will enable children and young people to help shape the delivery of the National Islands Plan, ensuring that their interests and priorities are properly considered.
The network will also give those involved an opportunity to build their confidence, develop key skills such as leadership and organisation and to develop new relationships and friendships with others.
The network will explore issues such as the depopulation of islands and, crucially, will provide an opportunity for our young islanders to raise the issues that matter to them most and make their views known.
The full cost for delivering the Pilot Young Islanders Network will be £28,500.
