Projects
Since 2018, YouthLink Scotland has been working with youth groups from across Scotland to identify and develop unique research opportunities to encourage young people to engage with their personal, social and environmental heritage.
In 2018, Scotswummin saw 56 young people from five youth groups across Scotland supported by their youth workers to conduct research in their community on women of influence who were unrecognised or had been forgotten, both past and present.
To follow on from the success of Scotswummin, our Youngwummin engaged with a further 44 young people to research the impact of WW1 on young women in Scotland.
Most recently, our On Our WaveLength project travelled Scotland's coastlines to explore young people's relationship to their environmental heritage, and the impact that global warming was having on their local environment.
