The first Planet Youth National Learning event is being hosted in Scotland on Tuesday 19 March, 2024

Are you working to improving the lives of young people in Scotland? Planet Youth invites you to find out more about how this evidence-based approach can bring communities together to enable children and young people to live happier, healthier lives.

Planet Youth involves listening to young people and working as a whole community to drive change in their area. From schools to charities and community groups, leisure centres and sports clubs to statutory partners to families – everyone has a role to play in helping to create environments where our young people can thrive.

Learn more about Planet Youth through collaboration, discussion, and networking at this special event. Leave with a deeper understanding of what Planet Youth is, how it might align with existing ambitions in your area, and ideas for embedding prevention activity into your work.

Tickets for this event are free for people who are attending in person, and those who choose to engage online for our keynote sessions.
