Tara O’Leary of the International Association for Community Development:
“It is often said that the world has become a global village. We are able to communicate with people at the other side of the world in an instant and many of us in Scotland have been lucky enough to see far-flung places and meet people first hand. At our conferences and events Community Development activists are often deeply moved and motivated by face to face meetings with international partners. Our experience tells us that there is a hunger for deeper learning and exchange between communities here and overseas.”

Today the Scottish Green Party and the Scottish Government announced the results of the latest round of funding through the Climate Challenge Fund. £1.16M will go to eighteen projects across Scotland, from Shetland to Dumfries, set up by groups from rural and island communities, small towns, and in many of Scotland’s cities. All of these projects are designed to reduce local communities’ carbon footprint in imaginative ways, and to inspire others to take up their ideas.
