The Matter

The document discusses how to continue inspiring people in Scotland after the Commonwealth Games. It notes that over £70 million was spent on the games and on programs like Princes Trust to help excluded youth. However, some feel that current programs like CV workshops and job training are not effective. The document proposes a pilot project in North East Edinburgh that worked with a group of 14-23 year olds over 6 weeks. The group produced a newspaper about local issues that was published and distributed in their community. Feedback was positive, with the project helping the youth feel empowered and see potential futures beyond benefits. It demonstrated how giving youth a voice and role in their community through real projects can inspire them long-term.
