Young Scot
Young Scot is the national youth information service for young people.
It aims to empower and inform young people through a mixture of information, ideas and incentives. Access to information is an essential element of the active participation of young people.
The Scottish Government is working with Young Scot to consider how best to raise awareness of the negative effects of racism with young people, and to promote the diverse society in Scotland.
As a first step, Young Scot developed a One Scotland. Many Cultures information channel on its website: www.youngscot.org.uk (link opens in a new window), which launched in September 2004.
Further promotional work around the One Scotland theme is planned including promotion via partner networks such as YouthLink Scotland (link opens in a new window) and the Scottish Youth Parliament (link opens in a new window).
Young Scot undertook a survey of young people's attitudes to racism in 2006 (link opens in a new window).
