The event is hosted by Stella’s Voice and led by researchers from the James Hutton Institute, in partnership with Magpie/AVA.

Join us for an interactive and action-focused event aimed at identifying circular solutions to amplify social and environmental benefits of a more circular society. Together we’ll explore practical steps to create meaningful change and build on existing initiatives to reduce resource use.

Who should attend? This event is open anyone interested in reducing resource use and helping Scotland become a more circular economy, including businesses, local authorities, social enterprises and charities.

This event is an opportunity to come together and identify solutions and actions for enabling, mainstreaming and scaling up circular behaviours in Scotland. The workshop will be interactive, with plenty of opportunity for discussion – and to connect with others who might help put those ideas into action.

This event is funded through a research project about the Circular Economy in Scotland, as part of the Scottish Government’s Strategic Research Programme (Project KJHI-C4-1) and led by independent researchers from the James Hutton Institute. For more information about the research project, please go to: everydaycircularity.hutton.ac.uk. A report from the event will be produced.

There will be plenty of time for networking, and lunch will be provided – please make sure to let us know any dietary requirements when you register. After lunch, there is an opportunity to visit and find out more about Stella’s Voice.
