A conference is being held on 11 December in Glasgow to engage young people from all communities. The conference is designed to be thought-provoking and to stimulate discussion on the issues of identity and what it means to be Scottish in the 21st Century.
It will also consider the benefits of democratic participation and the need to tackle racism and sectarianism. It is intended to be the first in a series of actions to involve more young people in the current debates about identity.
The Scottish Executive will continue to engage in dialogue with church and faith groups as part of its ongoing work to tackle sectarianism.
