Visioning Rural Communities
Visioning Rural Communities invites people from 5 distinct Highland and Island communities to dream of alternative ways of organising society, community, culture and economy. Telling the story of a vision can be a powerful means of communicating change. With skilled facilitators, inspirational speakers and collaborative thinking, participants of this innovative and thoughtful online programme will be guided to stand as their future selves, create and tell the story of their unique vision and then work with others to plan for its realisation.

- Uist and Barra
- Argyll
- Peterhead
- Banff and Macduff
