In 2007 while still at school Livingston met the Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond as a representative of a Zionist youth group:
- The First Minister, Alex Salmond, visited Calderwood Lodge Jewish Primary School and Giffnock Synagogue, before attending a meeting with a cross-section of communal leaders in the Jewish Community Centre. The visits were arranged by the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities Mr Salmond's request... Paul Livingston (Vice-Chair, Jewish Youth Forum) described his involvement with multicultural initiatives at school, and asked about Scottish Government support for projects promoting community cohesion amongst the youth. Mr Salmond replied that the Commonwealth Games will provide many opportunities, not only to promote sport, and healthy activities, but also to internationalise the Scottish perspective, and to provide a focal point for multicultural initiatives.[1]
