Scotland and Malawi have a shared history dating back more than 155 years to the travels of Dr Livingstone. Today, it is estimated more than 94,000 Scots are involved in a people-to-people link with Malawi, and 46% personally know someone working with Malawi. This is a unique national effort defined and underpinned by a spirit of dignified two-way partnership, in which the government is working in synergy with civic society, mobilising support and engagement from communities across Scotland.
This briefing will give you an in-depth look at the steps being taken to tackle poverty and develop income equality across Scotland. Benefit from informed debate and discussion and take advantage of a platform to learn and to share best practice solutions for delivering a socially inclusive Scotland.
Community University Research Partnerships, Community University Engagement and Public Engagement in Higher Education are amongst the most often discussed topics in Higher Education in many parts of the world.
The talk will be followed by a wine reception and everyone is welcome. If you would like to attend, please register on the GCID Eventbrite site. You can also register to attend the remaining GCID Autumn events which are listed below.
Kind regards.
