Society

We aim to promote a just and inclusive society and strengthen good governance. We also strive to internationalise Scotland and improve the international perception of young people in Scotland and around the world. We create links between people in both political institutions, academia, the media and civil society to share and develop best practice in a range of areas.

We work in partnership with a wide range of Scottish governmental, non-governmental and legal organisations to strengthen good governance and human rights overseas. By introducing Scottish individuals and organisations working in these fields to their counterparts around the world, we enable organisations to learn from each other and create international links.
