Across two phases we worked with the group to explore the key policy areas that the members of the group thought were most important. We delivered a series of participative sessions and identified recommendations for both the Scottish and UK Government. In Phase 2 of the project, The Panel explored the following areas:
\n\u2013 The Economy, Trade and Jobs
\n\u2013 Rights
\n\u2013 Opportunities to Work, Study and Travel
\n\u2013 EU Funding
\nWe worked with the group to deliver a social media campaign, meet with decision makers, produce a final report and hold a launch event with Scottish Government ministers.<\/p>\n
A key issue for the project was making Brexit relatable to the day to day lives of children and young people. The members of the panel enjoyed using characterisation activities to explore what children and young people need to be happy, healthy and safe. We used these characters to think about how exiting the EU might affect this (i.e if fun was important – how might leaving the EU affect this).<\/p>\n
What did we do<\/h4>\n
Children in Scotland worked in partnership with Together (the Scottish Alliance for Children\u2019s Rights) to support the engagement of children and young people in decision making about Britain\u2019s exit from the EU.
\nWe supported a group of 19 children and young people aged 8 \u2013 19 to share their views and come up with recommendations for what they wanted to happen as the UK left the EU.<\/p>\n

Tell us your advice on doing participation activities - \nwhat worked well, what you enjoy, what is inclusive?<\/h4>\n\nWe broke the project down into the policy areas that the group wanted to focus on, at each stage background briefings were provided and we thought about how the specific issues might affect children and young people. By breaking the topic down and making it relatable to their day to day lives, we were able to engage young children in complex policy. A top trumps style activity was particularly effective for deciding what decision makers we wanted to speak to. Members of the group ranked decision makers based on their power, availability and links to the panel. Putting this in a game form made it understandable to all and allowed the group to make decisions about who they wanted to talk to most.\n\n","post_title":"Children and Young People\u2019s Panel on Europe","post_excerpt":"What did we do<\/h4>\n\nChildren in Scotland worked in partnership with Together (the Scottish Alliance for Children\u2019s Rights) to support the engagement of children and young people in decision making about Britain\u2019s exit from the EU. \nWe supported a group of 19 children and young people aged 8 \u2013 19 to share their views and come up with recommendations for what they wanted to happen as the UK left the EU.\n\nContact: Chris Ross, Children in Scotland cross@childreninscotland.org.uk\n\nReport launch video \u2013 https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9P2xvII-KqA\n\nThe place is called:<\/h4>\n\nAcross Scotland\n\nDate<\/h4>\n\n20\/7\/2018\n\n18\/12\/2020\n\n","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"children-and-young-peoples-panel-on-europe-4","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-12-18 00:00:00","post_modified_gmt":"2020-12-18 00:00:00","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/ucan.misprojects.org\/children-and-young-peoples-panel-on-europe-4\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":2796,"post_author":"7","post_date":"2020-12-18 00:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-18 00:00:00","post_content":"What do you try to change?<\/h4>\n\nThroughout the project we were aware that Brexit was a complex policy area with many stakeholders. As such we knew that influencing direct change was going to be difficult.\n\nWe have raised awareness of the views of children and young people on Brexit in a number of ways:\nIn Phase 1 (2018-19) we published a final project report containing the panel\u2019s recommendations and launched this at SCVO\u2019s the Gathering. We also met with key Scottish Government decision makers to make them aware of the Panel\u2019s views.\n\nIn Phase 2 (2019 \u2013 20) we conducted the following activity:\n\n\u2013 We ran a two week social media campaign in August 2020 sharing a series of infographics with the panel\u2019s views.\n\u2013 We held a launch event in December 2020 with members of the panel, Scottish Government ministers and members of wider civil society\n\u2013 We met with key members of civil society, civil servants and Scottish Government ministers on specific topics.\n\u2013 We launched a final project report with the panel\u2019s recommendations.\n\n\nWhat do you want other people to do to help?<\/h4>\n\nWe would like people to keep sharing our work, including with children and young people.
