Abstract

In its efforts to break down barriers and encourage constructive dialogue, the RSE Young Academy of Scotland hosted a workshop on 8 July 2013 bringing together over 50 stakeholders comprising community activists, representatives from Police Scotland, central and local government, academia as well as members of faith, gender, sexual orientation and race groups. Delegates discussed their experience of the challenges facing Scotland’s diverse communities and explored possible approaches to build stronger communities.
