Abstract

This programme explored migrant youth identities in post-referendum Scotland. The programme brought together academics and stakeholders, including migrant youths, concerned with research and work on immigration and migrant integration, youth studies, youth media and cultural communications. Migration specialists met with social media practitioners, and youth organisations engaged with academic research in a new blend of scholarship and practicality that sought to reflect the digital, connected world in which we now live. The project ran workshops and outreach activities. Practical activities included generating three videos capturing different voices and perspectives of migrant young people. The agencies the project worked with most closely were SCORE Scotland (Edinburgh), Afghan United (Glasgow) and Bigg Taj and the Young People Army. Materials from the project, including the videos, were also disseminated from a dedicated website, https://expressyourselfscotland.org/.
