Shetland's MSYP Emily Shaw is New UK Young Ambassador

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Emily Shaw, Member of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYP) for Shetland, on being selected as Scotland's new UK Young Ambassador; understands that the UK Young Ambassadors project gives young people in the UK a voice at international meetings and events, on decisions that affect them and on issues that they care about and that Young Ambassadors provide a bridge between young people in the UK and people making decisions around the world; appreciates that Emily is now one of a team of six young people aged 16 to 25 from across the UK with diverse backgrounds and experiences who are Young Ambassadors; understands that Emily is looking forward to putting all the skills that she has gained from her MSYP role to good use as she consults across Scotland and represents the young people of the UK on a European level for the next 18 months, and recognises her appreciation for the support of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, which has allowed her to learn so much about how governance and democracy work in other countries and to bring back these lessons to Scotland and her own local constituency in Shetland.
