This event will also provide a way of presenting their thoughts on topics important to them and their future, such as enterprise, climate and diversity. It will offer young people from a variety of European organisations the opportunity to influence decisions that affect their lives by engaging with policy makers, influencers and Ministers.                        09:30 – 10:00 Registration and welcome coffee                      10:00 – 10:20 Introductory speeches                      10:30 – 12:00 Round table discussions in small groups                      12:00 – 13:00 Networking lunch    To register please send an email by 7 October to: BrusselsEvents@gov.scot     Young Scot is the national youth information and citizenship charity. They provide young people, aged 11 - 26, with a mixture of information, ideas and incentives to help them become confident, informed and active citizens. They do this in a variety of formats, including online, social, apps, magazines, and phone, etc, so young people can access information in a way they are comfortable with. Year of Young People 2018 is an opportunity for generations to come together and celebrate Scotland’s young people. It is a platform for Scotland's young people (8 to 26). It will give them a stronger voice on issues which affect their lives, showcase their ideas and talents, and ultimately, aim to challenge status quo and create a more positive perception of them in society.
