Last week, YE Scotland was pleased to host our second final for our Circular Economy Challenge.
You may have seen our last article when we hosted our very first young of young eco-warriors at Hampden Park.
This time around, we headed to The Lighthouse in Glasgow - a brilliant venue as it really demonstrates Glasgow's history in creating and inventing.
For the second round of our Circular Economy Challenge we opened up the eligibility from only Glasgow City Council schools into the Greater Glasgow area - we managed to engage with schools from Erskine, East Kilbride and Alexandria, so we were thrilled to be able to continue spreading our challenge within our communities.
Our young entrepreneurs had worked so hard over a number of weeks to create a circular solution to a problem facing our world, with our teams producing some absolutely amazing concepts - our judges had a seriously tough time!

Our Vision is for Scotland to be a place where all young people are given the opportunity to have a rewarding future in work and life - no matter where they start their journey.
Our Mission is to inspire and equip young people, irrespective of their background, to learn, develop and reach their full potential through enterprise education.
In everything that we do, we will work with the following values: Integrity, Enthusiasm, Creativity & Collaboration.
