The Scottish Parliament is working with the Scottish Youth Parliament (SYP) to find groups of between 4 and 8 young people in and around Glasgow to be involved The Scottish Parliament's first ever peer education project.  Connect! is a chance for young people aged 16-24 to  tell their peers about the Scottish Parliament and talk about local issues that matter to them.

The Scottish Parliament and SYP will support groups to come up with their own, youth led projects and support them to run a session for other local young people. Young people don't need to know anything about the Parliament or peer education, as training and help will be provided.

You can find out more by going along to The Scottish Parliament's Moving Stories exhibition at the Mitchell Library, Glasgow which runs until 27th February.  Find out more from Youth Scotland or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
