Partner organisation: Scottish Parliament
The Scottish Parliament hosted a day for 155 16 to 25 year olds, from across Scotland, for their Get the Picture! participative and interactive event. The event aimed to offer young people the chance to showcase their views, issues and lives in Scotland, as well as give them the opportunity to present their aspirations for Scotland over the next 5 years.
The means for expressing their views and opinions offered to the participants on the day ranged from cartoon making and street art, through photography to an open debate in the Debate Chamber.
The series of portraits created by the PhotoVoice participants make a visual comment on their chosen political message of the day. The results of their work are now avaliable for viewing in the gallery below.
