The first in a series of Children and Young People’s Regional Summit events centred on an education theme will be taking place on March 23rd in Inverness. The event is a collaboration between Scottish Government, Children in Scotland, Young Scot and the Scottish Youth Parliament.
Scottish Government wants to help ensure children and young people are at the heart of decisions which affect them and their education. As set out in Curriculum for Excellence, young people should have the confidence and skills to enable them to influence decisions around them, effectively participate in wider civic society and help shape the future Scotland.
Approximately 100 children and 40 supporting adults from schools and youth organisations across the north of Scotland will be coming along to the first regional summit which has been coordinated along with an official Cabinet meeting. Bringing the Cabinet meeting together with the Children and Young People’s Summit will give Government Ministers the opportunity to engage directly with children and young people to talk about their views on things like educational attainment, participation, children’s rights and social justice.
