On 7 March 2017, Mark McDonald, Scottish Government Minister for Childcare and Early Years, was joined by a group of young people from across the country, at the National Museum of Scotland, to launch a national search for young Ambassadors for Scotland\u2019s Year of Young People 2018 (YOYP 2018).<\/p>\n

On the milestone of 300 days to go until the year starts, a new website, event funding and the official logo for YOYP 2018 were also unveiled.\u00a0yoyp2018.scot<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

YOYP 2018 will inspire Scotland through its young people aged 8 to 26, celebrating their achievements, valuing their contributions to communities and creating new opportunities for them to shine locally, nationally and globally. It is the next of the Scottish Government\u2019s series of themed years and follows the Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology 2017.<\/p>\n

Young Scot, Children in Scotland and Scottish Youth Parliament are recruiting 200 young people throughout Scotland to become YOYP 2018 Ambassadors. Ambassadors will ensure that people and organisations in their communities know about what\u2019s happening. Together with other Ambassadors they will lead on projects and activities to create events and opportunities to celebrate young people.<\/p>\n

More information on the Year and planned activity can be found at\u00a0yoyp2018.scot<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
