Following the main conference of WCDC2019 in Dundee, delegates had the opportunity to take part in a one, two or four-day themed learning journey to see community development in action in the east coast of Scotland. This enabled a deeper understanding of the context and practice of community development in rural and urban settings in Dundee and neighbouring areas.
Delegates chose from five incredible learning journeys over 27th and 28th June in glorious Dundee and Fife. They joined us in stunning Highland Perthshire for a 2.5 day exploration of community arts and found out about Scotland’s unique new community empowerment powers in action.
Throughout the learning journeys, delegates reflected on the conference theme of People, Place and Power with local community development activists and practitioners.
These were the Practice Exchanges:
*Practice Exchange 1: DUNDEE: 9.30am – 4.30pm: Sharing Power, Fighting for Fairness
*Practice Exchange 3: WEST FIFE: 9.30am-5.00pm: Environmental Regeneration, Community Action
