Chase, Scotland’s Millennium Awards Scheme
for young people supports the personal development of 14-25 year olds
through creative award opportunities. Funded by The Millennium Commission,
Chase will initially make 300 awards nationwide. The programme aims
to involve socially excluded young people who have a project idea
that could make a difference to both themselves and their communities.
Each
Young Person becomes a part of the project by completing an application
for a small grant award to cover the expenses of a project idea,
which will benefit themselves and their community. Each award comes
with Mentor support and guidance for up to 6 months. We continue
to be amazed by the variety of creative ideas young people wish
to make into projects, ranging from digital photography exhibitions
and video diaries to exchanging ideas with other young people in
different parts of Europe.
