Community Development Alliance Scotland Seminar, in association with COSLA and Perth & Kinross Council
18 March 2008
Community development is an important but often invisible process which helps people to achieve a wide range of the quality of life outcomes that are reflected in national and local outcomes and targets for local authorities and their partners.
This seminar aimed to bring this process to light and discuss how it can be better recognised and supported.
It was designed to appeal to people in local authorities and partner organisations (including elected members) who are concerned with finding effective ways of achieving outcomes, whether or not they are actively involved in community development.
Speakers included:
Fiona Lees, Chief Executive, East Ayrshire Council
Sean Stronach, CLD Manager, Learning Connections, Scottish Government
Alan Barr, Scottish Community Development Centre
Workshops were held on how community development supports each of the national strategic priorities.
