Glasgow50 Legacy Programme - Frequently Asked Questions

When and how?

The programme takes place over Zoom four hours per day over four days: 3, 4 and 7, 8 March 2022,

1-5pm.

What is it?

The Glasgow50 Legacy programme is your opportunity to come together with your peers from across Glasgow, think through what you want your generation’s legacy to be and develop the leadership skills that you will need to make it happen.

How do I apply and do I have to pay to attend?

You can apply here by answering one simple question – ‘Tell us why you should be part of Glasgow50?’ You can answer in writing, poetry, video or art – we love to see your creativity!

The programme is free thanks to the generous sponsorship from Glasgow City Council, University of Glasgow, Rolls-Royce plc and Police Scotland Glasgow Central & West Division.

How does it work?

You’ll join a group of around 100 young people (18-25 year-olds) from Glasgow some working, some unemployed, some studying, some campaigning, some volunteering...

You’ll come together on Zoom to tackle a green challenge for Glasgow: ‘How can we act together to transform Glasgow into a cleaner, greener place for all?’ You’ll take part in café conversations and panel sessions with leaders from organisations big and small public, private and non-profit - in Glasgow. Over four sessions, you’ll investigate the issues, collaborate, hold difficult conversations and work up ideas. You’ll then test, refine and present your ideas to a panel of Glasgow leaders who can give honest feedback and advice on next steps. And it’ll be fun!

This is what some of our participants had to say:

“I think it was the best course I have ever done, it was so inspirational, motivational and was run so well. I have already been able to connect with lots of people from the course. Thank you so much honestly it was invaluable and my confidence from it has absolutely sky rocketed.” Participant,  Sheffield150

“A really insightful experience, I have learnt how important having different opinions are when

tackling complex problems. Also that working with new but diverse people is really important! I will

certainly speak up more in my world of work rather than shy away from opinions.” Participant, Bradford150
