The Dialogue Youth Programme is a major national youth initiative targeting 12 to 18 year-olds and forms an important part of the Scottish Executive’s agenda to modernise the way government works at local and national levels. Supported by the Executive’s Modernising Government Fund (MGF), COSLA and Scotland’s 32 local authorities, the Programme is built on the recognition that whilst most Local Authorities have successfully developed youth councils or congresses, more work is required to attract both the interest and imagination of young people in terms of active citizenship. Such work is also required to address the perceived disinterest amongst young people in the traditional democratic process. This report summarises the key findings of the evaluation study.
