An example of young people engaging with their community is the ‘Glasgow Girls’, a group of young women from Drumchapel High School in Glasgow. As Education Scotland explains, the women campaigned for the release of their friend Agnesa and her family when they were detained by the British Home Office. The group’s work raised awareness about the treatment of asylum seekers (Education Scotland, 2018). In the Further learning [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab.
