Verture invites you to take part in our upcoming Place-Based Strategy Workshops, a series of collaborative virtual sessions designed to bring together diverse voices from across Scotland. These workshops are focused on engaging a wide range of communities and sectors, including disabled people, Black and minority ethnic groups, and those in rural or Highland & Islands areas. Together, we’ll co-create practical, people-centred strategies to build a fairer, more resilient future.

What to Expect

Time commitment: The sessions will run for 90 minutes and will involve a mix of presentations and interactive group sessions.
Open and Inclusive Atmosphere:We’re keen to hear from people with a wide range of perspectives – whether you’re based in a particular place or work with particular communities, especially those often excluded from mainstream strategy processes. That includes disabled people, BME communities, and people in rural or island areas. Everyone has something to contribute.
Realistic and Action-Focused:Each session is designed to be practical and achievable, focusing on what we can do together right now and in the near future.

Who Should Attend? We want to hear from a wide range of people:

Community members and leaders
Representatives from voluntary, public, and private sectors
People with lived experience of disability, migration, or rural life
Anyone interested in building a more inclusive, climate-resilient Scotland
