The International Development Education Association of Scotland (IDEAS). A network of organisations and individuals involved in Development Education and Education for Global Citizenship across Scotland.

Young Citizen Advocates To inspire and encourage young people to take a leading role in issues of interest to them, locally and globally. Using the SDGs as a starting point and focus. Young people to identify what they would l like to see/do in their community/the wider world. Create ‘youth advocates’ to inform and shape the Year of Young People in 2018. In these events we have partnered with YoungScot and SCVO. Resulting from this is our ability to award YoungScot points to the young people attending the events and further points depending on whether or not they have taken things forward.
