Welcome to RnW

Roars not Whispers is an exciting and inspiring project which is open to any young person in Scotland. It is a fantastic opportunity for any 16-25 year old to create changes in their community.

 

Participants in the project will develop the knowledge and the confidence to become active citizens and seek to represent their communities at local, national and international levels. The team behind Roars not Whispers will support you and provide you with the tools that will help you speak up and make your voice heard.

 

The project wants to increase the number of young people who will represent themselves and others and increase the number of young people who want to take action on issues of concern to them. This means standing up and promoting your views on whatever matters to you and your peers, and taking action on subjects which matter to you the most.
