Join us for the first in a series of monthly live streamed broadcasts, led by Youth Music Forum Scotland using Google+, exploring current topics in youth music from all across the country.

This first broadcast will feature guest Tam Baillie, Scotland’s Commissioner for Children and Young People, joining us to discuss the recently released Article 31 (children’s right to culture, leisure and play) and the effect it will have on young people and those who work with young people throughout the UK.

Take part in the discussion live online where you can ask the Commissioner anything on Article 31 and find out all about what’s happening in youth music in Scotland this month.

The live stream discussion will run from 6.00—7.30pm on Wed 29 May.

To join in the debate, you’ll need a Google account, which takes just a few minutes to set up and will enable you to join in the discussion fully. We encourage you to pose questions to the Children’s Commissioner in advance of the event by emailing, hello@ymfs.org.uk or on Twitter using the hashtag, #Article31 or at Facebook.com/YMFScot or you can call the Inner Ear office and ask to speak with Benny or Anny, on 0141 226 8808. If you prefer you can join the Google+ hangout where you can talk directly on camera (using your computer’s in-built microphone and camera) and ask a question as if you were in the room. If you’re new to Google, we recommend you take a few minutes to familiarise yourself with Google+ from 6pm, where we’ll be on hand to help with any technical queries before the broadcast starts from 6:30pm.

If you’re able to join us live on Tuesday 29 May on Google+, please join the event or you can sign up via eventbrite.com.
