Amplify Our Democracy: National conference to highlight power of communities

October 21, 2017

  • « The Community Woodlands Association / Making Local Woods Work Conference
  • Through a Rural Lens: A UK Rural Development and Networking Conference »

Throughout Scotland, people are acting as if they own the place and taking back control of their communities. Our Democracy is proud to bring together a national showcase of some of the most inspiring examples, as well as looking at how we can turn ?acting as if we own the place? into actually owning it.

This will be a day of quick-fire presentations, discussion and socialising aimed at cultivating the active Scotland-wide community and celebrating the potential of Scottish local democracy.

The event will take place on Saturday 21 October, in Dundee, 11am-4pm. A communal lunch will be provided.

Tickets are free but please reserve one if you are coming so that we have an idea of attendance.

Scottish Rural Action, the non-profit body which organises the Scottish Rural Parliament, has a new website which includes an online forum for communities to connect and share views and ideas.

Scottish Rural Action and the Scottish Rural Parliament have been given separate online identities to avoid confusion over their respective roles.

The Scottish Rural Parliament takes place every two years and started in 2014. The national high-profile event brings representatives of rural communities from across Scotland together with decision-makers. The event aims to raise the profile of rural needs and strengths, as well as identifying solutions to the challenges our communities face.

Scottish Rural Action is the legal entity which organises the Scottish Rural Parliament. SRA takes forward priorities voted on at the Rural Parliament and advocates on behalf of rural communities on a wide range of issues. We are the ‘go to’ organisation on rural issues in Scotland.
