Sorry about the this being posted so close to the deadline:
Dear Youth Network
The Scottish Government has organised an innovative consultation event for young people to give their views on faith and belief. The event is the first step towards the development of a strategic framework to promote positive relations among and between faith and belief communities in Scotland. This event will provide young people with a unique opportunity to directly influence Government policy. It is taking place in Glasgow on Monday 28 April from 9:30am-5:00pm and is open to anyone aged 16-25 with an interest in faith and belief. It is not necessary to be a member of a religious community in order to participate as we are keen to have representation from those who hold a variety of different viewpoints, including belief systems such as humanism and secularism.
Do not feel that only one person may come along as we would like individuals to represent themselves. There are 100 places.
Please forward this information as widely as possible
Details are available online at: Faith & Belief Youth Consultation, or alternatively please contact Barbara Schuler for further information (Barbara.Schuler@scotland.gsi.gov.uk Tel: 0131 244 0560).
Kind regards
