Edinburgh Evening News will host a debate at the gathering, with John Loughton, Iain Gray, Robin Harper and the Children and Young People's Commissioner.

Nobody every listens to me! Young scots complain that their voices too often go unheard. And tens of thousands risk being ignored in the looming general election campaign. How can you - as someone not yet old enough to vote or as a first time voter - make sure that your opinion counts.

The event will run from 2pm to 4pm on the 18th February. To Book a place Edinburgh Evening News event at the gathering please contact Alison Templeton.
