Dear all, This first event was held last Saturday, March 3rd at one of the universities in Glasgow, Scotland. My colleague Kerry is currently writing it up, and so I will post a longer account later this week - we are very busy at present! We had 88 attendees, drawn from a wide range of public, voluntary and community bodies from all over Scotland, helping to form the next two years of agenda for the Social Justice Committee. So the event was to raise issues, not action points. The committee of MSPs and their administrative staff were delighted with the results, the depth of discussion, and the range of subjects. There were two one-hour sessions in the day, one produced 9 groups and subjects, the other ten groups. Each of these 19 groups decided on three subsidiary issues, so 57 in all, and in addition, a phenomenon never occurring before with us, the whole group posted 12 further issues they would have liked to work on, if there had been time. I will report on the results, but it was enough for this one Committee to say that they might repeat the event in a rural area of Scotland, and also as an event longer than one day.
