Europarc Conference, Aviemore, 17th – 21st September

After months of hard work and traveling, the EUROPARC Youth Manifesto was launched at the EUROPARC Conference in the Cairngorms National Park on Friday 21st September 2018.

The call to action was put out by the 50+ young people who brought the manifesto to fruition asking for organisations and communities to engage with their young people to create new opportunities for living, learning and working in rural communities and protected areas.

In response to this call for action, the Cairngorms National Park Authority board agreed on a project to develop a youth group in the Cairngorms to take forward some of the recommendations of the EUROPARC Youth Manifesto. This is the Cairngorms National Park Youth Project.

The project has recruited young people aged 16-30 to be part of a steering group that will co-design a Cairngorms National Park Youth Group:

• To be the voice of young people in the Park.
• To develop a procedure to fund young people’s ideas about living, learning and working in the Park.
• To put on exciting and innovative events for young people in the Park.

And much, much more!
