"My name is Andrew and I am the Scottish UKYA. Though I’ve just started a studying law at the University of Glasgow, I am originally from Aberdeenshire on the North-East coast, and represent the constituency of Angus North and Mearns in the Scottish Youth Parliament. I have done a lot of work in Scotland on issues important to young people but recognise the importance that the EU has on our lives, and want to make a difference at an international level and improve youth engagement for the future

"Hi, I’m Cassie and I am from Wembley, London. I want use this opportunity to give a platform for young people to have a say in decisions that affect young people. Young people matter. We should have a say about the issues that affect us individually and collectively as we hold the key to the future.  I believe that we are an extremely important group in society and should be given a change to understand the issues affecting us and make a positive contribution."

"I wanted to get involved with the young ambassadors project because through working with the European youth forum I can see what amazing things young people can do around issues that actually matter to us, and as a part of the young ambassadors team I want to be able to get more young people’s voices heard on a European platform and make positive changes in the UK."

"I want to be UK Young Ambassador as I have been involved in youth politics since I was 11 and I have now finally reached the highest point in youth politics in the UK. I’m passionate about the things I get involved in and I’m passionate in giving young people a voice. We should be listened to just as much as any other citizen in the country. I have a strong working relationship with the children’s commissioner for Wales and also the Welsh assembly government so I am quite well known in welsh politics as 1 of the faces of youth politics. I promise and vow to act in the best interests of young people and your rights by helping the UK to abide by the articles created by the UNCRC!. What more can I say then I love being a champion for young people."

"I want to be a UKYA because I believe that the UK has a key role to play in moving forward an ever growing European Union, and that this integration with Europe is something that, when it fully develops will be affecting the youth of today when they are adults.  Therefore I think it is key for decisions that are made now be influenced by the youth of Europe as it is the youth that will be greatest affect throughout their lifetime.  I think that taking into account the views of young people is key and that in an institution as large as the EU it is of the upmost importance."

“I am determined to make a difference and to ensure young people have a fair hearing to get what we rightly deserve.  I hope to use my years of experience and knowledge obtained from all areas to influence decision makers and implement change for young people. I want to explore in depth the important issues that affect our youths today. I want to interact and represent more young people across the UK and Europe, to work mutually to bring about positive change and extend my horizons to gain further experiences and opportunities.”
