Through this manifesto and its five main themes, young people across Scotland are telling decision-makers what issues matter the most to them. The manifesto is for everyone who has an interest in young people and their rights, protection, and hearing their voices. It is by young people for young people.
The Scottish Youth Parliament have launched their brand-new manifesto this month, setting out clear priorities for the next Scottish Government and other decision-makers in the country.
The 2026-2031 Manifesto: Dear Scotland’s Future is more than a policy document; it’s a powerful statement that’s been written for young people, by young people. Previous editions have seen the implementation of the Under 22s Free Bus Travel Scheme and the incorporation of the UNCRC into Scottish law.
The impact of this manifesto will depend on how widely its policies are shared. Young people are not only asking for change; they’re ready to lead the way!
