Date and time
Location
Online event
How do we ensure community based learning and impact shapes wider strategic decisions and structures?
About this event
Sistema Scotland and Aberdeen City Council have been working in partnership since 2016 to deliver the place based Big Noise programme in the Torry community. As the evidence of impact from the Big Noise programmes has emerged and strengthened across Scotland the partners have been in ongoing conversation to understand and create the conditions for important learning from this work at a community level to be shared strategically across the city. Join Chief Officer - Early Intervention and Community Empowerment Derek McGowan and Sistema Scotland CEO Nicola Killean as they share their story of how they have been collaborating, the structures and conditions they are working to create to enable genuine honest conversations across partners, what impact and changes are taking hold and the challenges and difficulties along the way. They will share some thoughts on how they are managing the dynamic between local authority, third sector and community, how they navigate the funder / recipient relationships, and the importance of relationships in this work. This is a work in progress conversation. We will invite others attending the session to share their stories and aim to capture examples on how best we can find ways to allow community based learning and practice to influence wider decisions and structures.
