Gordon MSP Alex Salmond welcomes this years’ Aberdeen International Youth Festival which will see up to 1000 participants take part in over 70 events throughout the 2 week period.
The festival will also include a multimedia production of a Midsummer Nights Dream commissioned by the festival and produced by local theatre director Rhona Mitchell of Rhona Mitchell School of Drama, Inverurie.
Gordon Member of the Scottish Youth Parliament Millie Fawcett will also be working at this year’s festival and has been working hard over the last few months behind the scenes with many other staff and young people to make sure the event runs smoothly.
Commenting Mr Salmond said:
"Once again it is great to see so many young people having the opportunity to get involved in such an exciting programme of events. I’m sure a great deal of hard work has gone into the Aberdeen International Youth Festival and I commend all of the staff and young people involved. Events such as these provide a great boost for the young people in the area and prove once more how the North East is proving a hub of creativity and energy for young people.”
“I would also like to wish the young people that are taking part in A Midsummer Nights dream all the very best as I understand they have worked tirelessly with Rhona Mitchell in Inverurie over the last few months to get the production ready. Credit must also go to Rhona's colleague Al Seed who alongside Rhona created this original production, I’m sure they both worked very hard with the young people to bring the production together.”
"The Aberdeen International Youth Festival is a great showcase and I’m sure will benefit and engage young people from not only the North East, but across Scotland. Some of my young Gordon constituents will be taking part and I hope they will enjoy themselves and gain new skills and experiences.”
Gordon Member of the Scottish Youth Parliament Millie Fawcett commented saying,
“I have been working at the festival behind the scenes and front of house at some of the events, so have seen first hand how hard the organisers and participants work to bring the event together. I think the festival is a great way to engage young people and get them involved in theatre, drama and music. There are all sorts of opportunities and activities and it gives us a chance to experiment and express ourselves in lots of new and creative ways.”
