I spoke to a group of 50 young people involved with Spark of Genius – Cathy present. This was a very engaging group asking well informed questions around political issues – poverty, independence and LA responsibilities to young people leaving care. A good taster for the vote coming up within Spark of Genius
Cathy and I moved onto Saltcoats Academy to join the assembled youth council members – around 120 in total. They had a whole days worth of activities with some very inventive exercises which are well worth highlighting through a RIGHT brilliant thing – really inspiring session.
I met informally with Des McInulty, Labour spokesperson for Education and Young People.
