🗣️ Our Policy and Public Affairs Team visited @SistemaScotland in Stirling earlier this week to talk about all things children's rights
👏 Thanks to all the wonderful young people from #BigNoiseRaploch for sharing their views with us on such an important issue!

It was a pleasure hosting members of the Scottish Youth Parliament for Shetland, Orkney and Western Isles in Edinburgh. I learnt a lot from our chat and got great advice on consulting young islanders. Thanks Comhairle nan Eilean, Shetland Islands Council
and Orkney Islands Council for organising

A lovely night at The Stirling Smith at the launch of #Stirling900 , highlights an incredible poem from Stirling Makar Laura Fyfe and Stirling’s MSYPs Scottish Youth Parliament cutting the cake with the Provost! We’re so lucky to live in a City with so much going on.
Joe Smith & Bertie Summers Scottish Youth Parliament MSYPs had the opportunity to meet Beatrice Wishart MSP to discuss matters important to young people inc. housing, inter island ferries, flight services to the islands, tunnels, UHI Shetland and the proposed artificial football pitch in Lerwick.
Did you know Scottish Youth Parliament will be 25 this year!? Two of our Dundee MSYPs - Jamail & Leia are part of the planning group looking at how to celebrate Scottish Youth Parliament achievements ⬇️
We fully agree with NeilMackay about #PositiveMasculinity . We've been working with boys and young men since 2021 to reframe the narrative on harmful masculinity. Labelling young men as 'toxic' is not supported by a child rights-based approach and our evidence backs this up.
📣Children's Parliament's new report, contributing to phase two of the Democracy Matters consultation, supported children to build their own town for a different democratic future: where children & adults work together to design & influence their community
