Recognising the importance of providing a voice for young people within Climate FORTH, this activity will meaningfully involve young people with their local community’s Local Resilience Plan. Through this process, Inner Forth young people will not only develop their knowledge about heritage - better enabling them to make decisions about its future management and use - but will also develop cross-cutting soft skills for the future, including teamwork, communication and creativity, problem-solving and critical thinking.
Volunteer ‘Climate FORTH Young Leaders’, aged 18-25, will be recruited in and across the Inner Forth, to form a team.
Their involvement in their community’s Local Resilience Plans will include attending and promoting planning workshops, as well as leading activity sessions with existing local youth clubs, who will become ‘Climate FORTH Young Champions’.

To provide the Young Leaders with a real opportunity to influence heritage-focused decision making, and to build their confidence and leadership skills, this activity will include a youth-led microgrant process for each of the four local communities, similar to the larger Local Resilience Plan’s participatory budgeting process, but on a smaller scale.
