Recognising the importance of providing a voice for young people within Climate FORTH, this activity involved young people with their local community’s Local Resilience Plan. Through this process, Inner Forth young people were able to develop their knowledge about heritage, enabling them to make decisions about its future management. They also learned 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, were being recruited across the Inner Forth, to form a team.
Their involvement in their community’s Local Resilience Plans included attending and promoting planning workshops, as well as leading activity sessions with existing local youth groups, who are now our ‘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 included 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.
To carry out this activity, we worked with Langlees and Fallin primary schools, Kincardine Scouts and Connect Alloa.
