Rebecca Dawes @RYP2018
"We don't have years. Young people are migrating away from rural areas NOW. We need to market better what rural areas offer, esp in rural micro-businesses". @AmazeMeLEADER #AmazeMeLEADER #LEADER2018 @scotruralnet @MairiGougeon

[Sarah Skerratt @sarah_skerratt]

My "public pledge" today @AmazeMeLEADER #LEADER2018 #AmazeMeLEADER @SRUC @MairiGougeon

[Sarah Skerratt @sarah_skerratt]

@Bruce_Adamson
"Young people's mental health in rural areas - same issues come up across rural Europe: *Connectivity* is essential: digital, public transport, accessible public spaces and places. Plus physical/mental health link." @AmazeMeLEADER @MairiGougeon @haughey_clare

[Sarah Skerratt @sarah_skerratt]

Qu: how get more young people involved? @bruce_adamson
"1. Changing the way decision-making is structured. 2. Building skills and capacity of young people. 3. Building young people's ability to challenge and agitate."

[Alistair Prior🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🇺🇦 @AlistairPrior]

so my question @AmazeMeLEADER what future role for the #leader approach with respect to empowering and enabling young people? both this and @RYP2018 suggests fantastic opportunities for collaboration and change at locally, nationally and internationally @scotruralnet

[AmazeMeLEADER @AmazeMeLEADER]
