 The Presiding Officer has today launched the Scottish Parliament's Festival of Politics. This year's theme, be inspired to see the world differently. The three-day festival takes place in the unique setting of the Scottish Parliament from Friday the 14th to Sunday the 16th of August. Well this year's festival is about inspiring people and trying to bring people into discussions about migration, about democracy, about freedom of speech. And I think it's an action-packed programme that most people will find something that will really intrigue them enough to come to the Festival of Politics. This year's highlights include a keynote speech by the popular political philosopher Michael J. Sandell on public service and the future of democracy. And a talk by the leading historian, Sir Tom Devine, on Scotland and slavery. There'll also be discussions on subjects from food, workers' rights and free speech to the experiences of Muslim women. We've got a festival Youth Café for the first time ever. And I think the reason behind that is because we were all witness to the great involvement in the democratic process by young people during the referendum campaign. Our brand new Festival Youth Café will also have a number of workshops taking place on subjects such as filmmaking and cartooning. Young people can test out their music skills in the Buzz Project bus that is kitted out as a state-of-the-art recording studio. You can get further information about the Festival of Politics and book tickets through our webpage and you can keep updated via social media.
