Youth Participation
Youth Scotland is supporting young people to participate in decision making processes and in the management and leadership of their groups and communities.
Bored Meetings
Bored Meetings was conceived by young people who attended the first Edinburgh Youth Jury in January 2002, identifying the need for training to support their involvement in collective decision-making processes.
The Bored Meetings pack comprises various elements including: training cards, the 'development story', flashcards and handouts, a 'charter for young decision-makers' poster and information on how young people's work can be accredited through the Youth Achievement Awards. The pack supports workers and young people to reflect on and improve their group decision-making skills.
The pack was originally developed by EVOC and the Edinburgh Youth Social Inclusion Partnership (EYSIP) and was inherited by Youth Scotland in 2006.
To find out more about the pack contact Philip Ritchie, Youth Participation Development Worker on 0131 554 2561 or email philip.ritchie@youthscotland.org.uk.
