For Schools
We want the teachers and support staff working within a school participating in Planet Youth in Scotland to feel clued-up, comfortable, and reassured that they too are getting the guidance needed in making the survey process and Planet Youth in Scotland successful.
A Proven Approach with Local Roots
Planet Youth began in Iceland over 20 years ago — and the results speak for themselves. Teenagers there are now growing up with healthier habits, more confidence, and fewer risk behaviours.
Now, the approach is evolving to suit Scotland’s unique landscape. The goal? To create lasting, positive change for young people, their families, educators, and communities for generations to come.
The Role of Schools
Schools are at the heart of Planet Youth in Scotland. Teachers, support staff and school leaders play a vital role in shaping the lives of young people — helping them grow with purpose, belief, and ambition.
But to make a real difference, schools need the right tools and support. That’s where Planet Youth comes in — ensuring educators feel equipped and empowered every step of the way.


Listening to Young People, Taking Action
The Planet Youth survey gives young people a voice, helping us understand their experiences, challenges, and needs. That insight allows schools and communities to respond with real, targeted action.
By gathering this essential data, schools become powerful agents of change — not just in the classroom, but across the wider community. Together, we can build a stronger, healthier future.
