National Conversation - Have Your Say!
The Scottish Government has asked Young Scot to consult with young people to see what they think about Scotland and its future.
This is part of the National Conversation, where the Government is asking everyone in Scotland what they think about the future of the country.
There are lots of different views on how Scotland should be run in the future, but the important thing is that they all count.
If you complete the survey you could be in with the chance of winning a Nintendo Wii and Wii Sports game.

DownloadLowdown is Young Scot's new podcasting project. We're broadcasting the voices and views of young people from across Scotland to the world on the internet.
Four professional artists have been travelling the length and breadth of the country, inspiring and collecting stories, songs, music, viewpoints, even poems. From Aberdeen to the Western Isles, from Edinburgh to Shetland, young people have been working hard, recording and editing podcasts which give insights and glimpses of their lives.
