Scottish Youth Parliament

The Scottish Youth Parliament (SYP) is an organization that represents the voices and concerns of young people aged 14 to 25 in Scotland. It provides a platform for youth to engage in political discussions, influence decision-making, and advocate for issues that matter to them, such as education, health, and climate change. Members, known as MSYPs, are elected from local areas and work collaboratively to ensure that young people's perspectives are heard by policymakers. The SYP aims to empower youth and promote active citizenship, helping them to develop skills in leadership and civic engagement.
