We are pleased to announce our second game of the Unicorn Quest. The theme of this one is Along the Shore and starts on Monday.

This game is focussed on an orienteering kind of activity. Where families can walk along and write down the numbers and letters along the route. The letters make up a word and the numbers make a total number.

This game is not only fun but safe, free and a great way to see the natural heritage of the PSG area.

On Friday 15^th January 2020, Children’s Parliament launched The Big Vote, a national vote for 8 – 14 year olds that will ask how we can make Scotland a more fair, inclusive, sustainable and prosperous place now and in the future.

How can children take part in the vote?
The vote will take the form of an anonymous survey and can be completed on the Children’s Parliament website at the following link from January 15th: https://www.childrensparliament.org.uk/the-big-ideas-big-vote/

What will children be voting on?
Throughout 2020 Children’s Parliament has been listening to the views and experiences of children across Scotland. Children identified four ‘Big Problems’ – climate change, discrimination, poverty and digital inequality – that they think need to be fixed now. We asked children across Scotland to share their ‘Big Ideas’ for how to fix the Big Problems and this vote is all about finding out which Big Ideas children think would make the biggest difference.

How long will the vote run?
The vote will be open from January 15^th at 9:00am to January 19^th at 6:00pm.

How can I help?
We want adults across Scotland to help make sure as many children as possible take part in this vote. You can help by sharing this with anyone who could support children to take part in the vote.

Why is The Big Vote happening?
Children’s Parliament is working in partnership with the Scottish Youth Parliament as part of The Action Project, hosted by the David Hume Institute, which aims to get children and adults all across Scotland thinking about what we need to do to move faster towards a country that is more ‘prosperous, sustainable, inclusive and fair’. Very importantly, this Project will develop ambitious yet concrete Big Ideas to do this that can be turned into real action. This vote will help us to know which Big Ideas are most popular amongst Scotland’s children.

What will happen as a result of the vote?
Children will vote on the Big Ideas using a range of criteria and the top two Big Ideas will be made into animations. These will be presented to the Action Project for consideration alongside other ideas from children, young people and adults across Scotland.
