Community Development Alliance Scotland: Annual Conference

Beyond Recovery to Renewal

Only one week to go to register for our Annual National Conference and what a line up we have for you! 

Community Development: Beyond Recovery to Renewal is an ambitious, bold title for our conference and we have such an amazing array of community activists, leaders, membership organisations and senior policy makers that we believe we can all share and learn with each other in order to collectively create stronger, fairer, wealthier, greener and smarter communities. 

Annual National Conference, 29th September 2021 (virtually)

Our conference programme features keynote speakers and workshops led by a number of our membership organisations, as well as raising awareness of funding and other opportunities which may interest you/your teams and networks.

With a strong coalition of 126 national organisations and over 1200 subscribers & twitter followers, CDAS continues to build and coordinate our networks, share and learn good practice, influence policy and raise awareness of our collaborative working, collective action and impact in order to create a more socially just and equal society.
