The Social Action Inquiry was set-up to explore what helps and what hinders Social Action in Scotland.
Our first steps are a series of participatory and thought-provoking conversations to connect people taking practical, socially driven action in the service of others, our shared spaces and our natural environments.
The conversation is two hours long and divided into 3 parts. Each part will invite participation from attendees to contribute through dialogue, written words and images.
The structure of the conversation will:
- Provide space to share the stories of social action that need heard
- Begin to develop the network of allies involved in social action
- Explain the intention and life cycle of the Inquiry
- Identify who else we need to speak to
- Shape the next steps of the Inquiry
At the end of the sessions there will be information and offers from the Inquiry Team of how people can stay connected with the Inquiry.

I wanted to drop you a message to update you on our engagement activities for this phase of the Social Action Inquiry (writes DARRYL).
We are hosting 3 weeks of Conversations with the Social Action Inquiry.
Tickets can be reserved through Eventbrite here. We have scheduled BSL interpreters for the event on the 7th of December (7-9 p.m.).
We have also scheduled additional conversations with allied initiatives and organisations such as #Iwill21 and Inspirealba.
Each conversation is two hours in length and are designed with liberating structures in mind, enabling attendees to contribute regularly and evenly to the conversations. The conversations are divided into three parts and the aims for these sessions are to:
- Provide space to share the stories of social action that need heard
- Begin to develop the network of allies involved in social action
- Explain the intention and life cycle of the Inquiry
- Identify who else we need to speak to
- Shape the next steps of the Inquiry
We would be grateful if you could share information about these events through your networks ,social media, and perhaps more importantly, nudge one or two people that spring to mind that need to know about these conversations.
We find that the personal touch often has the greatest influence.
You can find us on Twitter and Instagram we invite you to follow us, both platforms have embedded a short animation describing the events which can be shared.
Finally, please do get in touch if you would like to connect. Alternatively if you would like to be removed from our mailing list please let us know as well.
Best wishes
