The Youth Assembly will consist of eight young people, aged between 18-23, who are based in Scotland. Members will:
- Provide insight– use your knowledge of what appeals to young people to help both RSNO and SCO make decisions and develop new ideas
- Raise awareness– use your networks to help young people and those that work with young people understand and engage with the work of RSNO and SCO
- Gain experience– of leadership and governance within the creative industries
We welcome young people with a range of experience to apply to join the Youth Assembly – you don’t have to be a musician or have a background in classical music. We are interested in hearing from young people who are passionate about music and the arts, and who wish to make our work more accessible to other young people. Ideally, you will already have experience of volunteering, designing projects, taking part in campaigns or representing young people, for example in school council or societies.
