Have you heard about the Scotland Malawi Partnership’s Youth Congress 2019?
Building on the fantastic events we’ve held in the past in venues like Hampden Park, Glasgow and the Scottish Parliament, this year’s event promises to be bigger than ever!
With support from the Scottish Government, Orbis Expeditions, the University of Edinburgh and the National Lottery, the Scotland Malawi Partnership are pleased to announce that bookings are now open for the 2019 Youth Congress, taking place on the 28th February in the beautiful McEwan Hall at the University of Edinburgh.
The event is open to teachers, pupils aged 14+, and young people from across Scotland.
Attendees will choose from a selection of workshops and interactive sessions in the morning or afternoon on topics including language and culture, global citizenship, music, and many others. There will be bespoke sessions for teachers as well, with experts in school trips and group travel to Malawi on hand to offer advice and their experience.
