What Scotland Learned: Building Back Better accompanies the publication, What Scotland Learned: 100 Stories of Lockdown, taking the inspiring stories from the book and synthesising them with education research. This paper takes the six themes that came through the stories and explores the existing evidence-based findings to add depth and understanding. In this seminar Audrey Sutton, Executive Director of Communities and Education at North Ayrshire Council and a senior pupil from the authority will join us to share their learning from the pandemic on the theme of Community. As part of this, North Ayrshire will share how kindness has been part of their work. It may be helpful to read the following documents beforehand:
