Me + Us

Leave a comment

Me + Us engages children in an exploration of what makes them unique and what connects them to others. Though their personal and group investigation children document their cultural identity, heritage and discover the meaning and experience of sectarianism in Scotland’s communities. Children work together to explore how we might make Scotland an inclusive nation; the best place to grow up. Every child produces a portrait and artist statement which reveals to their audience of peers and adults who they are.

For the past few months children in 6 Local Investigation Teams have been working on their Me + Us project. Check out the map below to see where the teams are based. Examples of their work can be seen in the Me + Us GALLERY

At the beginning of Me + Us workshops, the children shared their initial thoughts by interviewing each other for this video.

Human Rights Belong to All of Us

This paper gives a bit of history, considers the legal context and importantly for us focuses on how we might create a culture in our public and private services – as
well as in our communities and in families – which are consistent with the intuitive idea of human dignity.

Children’s Parliament

Leave a comment

Children’s Parliament gives children the opportunity to voice their ideas, thoughts and feelings so that their concerns and opinions can be listened to and included in our social and political landscape.

Children’s Parliament gives ideas a voice.
The Children’s Parliament works with children from birth to 14 years old. This also means engaging with their families, schools and communities.
We use the creative arts and have developed a thematic and holistic approach. We develop open and honest relationships with children; valuing their worth
and their views.
We create opportunities for children to feel safe, challenged and trusted.
By offering children the tools with which to develop and communicate their own opinions we also provide adults with a unique, valuable insight into the concerns and hopes of today’s children.
Their passions and concerns are important. Children are experts in their own lives and we can use the information they share with us to help make Scotland a great country to grow up in.
