Networking Edinburgh's Community Buildings

An opportunity to gather, brainstorm and skillshare with other community owned building and community-ran spaces for ways to collaborate, support each other, map resources and increase long term community resilience.

As Covid is requiring community organizations to frequently adapt and respond to change both in terms of policies, logistics and resources, this gathering will aim to explore how to create ways for community ran/owned spaces to share ongoing learnings and create a responsive solidarity network toward a more adaptive and regenerative culture.

By applying eco-systemic thinking to the conversation, this event will explore ways for already existing individual physical hubs in Edinburgh to be stronger together and nurture healthy and durable interconnectedness.

Such spaces hold the potential to offer vital fertile ground and stable foundations for local communities to build upon to reclaim their connection, sovereignty, and empowerment.

This event will explore some of these topics and questions:

• What are communty buildings/organizations shared needs?
• Sharing seeds of hope and sharing learning
• Sharing successes and map opportunities
• Mapping our resources and sources of support
• Introduction to SCCAN & EVOC
• How do we still support our communities?
• What are the key threads of community?
• Increasing resilience through creating a network

This event is organized by the Salisbury Centre in partnership with SCANN (Scottish Communities Climate Action Network) as part of SCCAN’s Community Learning Exchange.
