Now had time to reflect on the amazing inaugural Young Scot #YSFest. Great to hear about the charity's broader work & listen to so many engaged young people. "When it is about us, we are the experts". They are so right!

'Don't invest in putting nets under ladders. Focus on stopping people fall off in the first place!' A great analogy from @GaryRWatmough on building drought resilience and the work of Jameel Observatory for Food Security Early Action Worth a listen ⬇️👀🎧

"What did we have to lose? From my perspective, we only had something to learn." An excellent reflection by South Ayrshire Council, a key partner in our The Promise Scotland project. Gaining confidence with data, challenging status quo, and making impactful changes. 🙌 #dataforgood Edinburgh Futures Institute
