Not long to go! We’re meeting education leaders soon and we want primary children’s voices at the heart of the conversation. Get your shoogle on and help us shake up education.
Take part by the end of 27 Nov: bit.ly/44j2ZKS
ALT A promotional graphic for “The Shoogle Lab” showing children walking out of a school building. The headline reads “Let’s shake up education together! Take part and have your say!” A quote from a teacher says: “We had a lot of fun doing the activities and the teaching points were received well. As the game went on the frustration went up, specifically about their voices not being heard.” The Children and Young People’s Commissioner Scotland logo and “The Shoogle Lab” title are on the right. Icons include maracas, a calendar, and an envelope. Text at the bottom says: “Take part by Thursday 27 November 2025. Send your class’s feedback to: [email protected]

We are now hearing from @CYPCS @NicolaKillean on children’s rights and how fairer, kinder public debt recovery practices would comply with the UNCRC.
“Child poverty is the biggest barrier to children and young people fully realising their rights.”
Children and Young People's Commissioner Scotland retweeted
Delighted to be here for such important conversations about the harmful impact public debt can have on children’s rights, and how UNCRC provides a framework to drive different legislation, policy and practice decisions. @AberlourCCT @CYPCS
