OUR MISSION
Established in 1996, Article 12 in Scotland is a young person led network that works to promote young people's PARTICIPATION AND INFORMATION RIGHTS as set out in international human rights charters. We believe that young people care about their PARTICIPATION AND INFORMATION RIGHTS, and the PARTICIPATION AND INFORMATION RIGHTS of others, and that given the knowledge and the opportunity they will take positive action to make Scotland, the UK, Europe and the World a place where young people are given access to the INFORMATION and OPPORTUNITIES necessary to PARTICIPATE as equal citizens at all levels of society.

Article 12 in Scotland works to make PARTICIPATION AND INFORMATION RIGHTS a reality for young people by:

  • Developing our existing network to fully reflect the diversity of young people
  • Undertaking research to identify the needs and concerns of young people relating to their PARTICIPATION AND INFORMATION RIGHTS
  • Producing jargon free RIGHTS information, on this Website and in leaflet/booklet/cd/dvd/video format for distribution locally, nationally and internationally

  • Organising, or assisting our partners to organise, RIGHTS BASED events/conferences/training for young people throughout Scotland and in Europe, the Middle East and Africa
