On 10 March, 72 folk from community groups and organisations across Scotland came together for a day of learning at Scottish Communities CAN’s third annual Gathering. After previous events in Glasgow and Edinburgh, this one was in Stirling, at the Albert Halls.
As we arrived, we grabbed a coffee and put our projects on the giant map. Some were pleased to see they were still there from last year. Melness and Tongue Community Trust were our most Northerly cousins this year.
Robin got us all up on our feet in a game of dynamic handshakes, and we heard a bit about how games and activities help us to explore concepts and situations.

On-the-spot feedback while it’s fresh in our minds

You can also share your thoughts by email to info@scottishcommunitiescan.org.uk, or using our Facebook and Twitter.
