CAN DO COMMUNITIES, Learning for Change National Event

by Stephen Hilton on November 22, 2007 · View Comments

The Scarman Trust has been very supportive of Connecting Bristol. They are holding the following free event, which has a very interesting, diverse and potentially explosive line up of speakers. I wish I could be there…

You are invited to attend the launch of the Scarman Trust’s “You Can Do”
Guides. Designed to equip citizens with the skills, capacity and confidence to engage in community activity, in social action and in democratic processes the Guides are an invaluable resource for individuals with a Can Do spirit and for anyone involved in public service delivery.

This will be a fantastic opportunity to meet a wide range of interesting people – national and local politicians, community activists, academics, media commentators, voluntary, community and public sector leaders. Please come along to share and develop your ideas and opinions on the current issues for community and citizenship in 21st century Britain.

This is a FREE event, funded by Equal, to encourage wider participation and inclusion.
