National Conference & AGM: 26 - 27 February 2020
 You are invited to attend the Scottish Rural Action National Conference, taking place alongside our AGM from 26th – 27th February 2020, to explore the challenges and opportunities facing rural Scotland during the coming period of change.
We are gathering in an inspirational venue that is symbolic of the changing face of rural Scotland; New Lanark World Heritage Centre. What can we learn from rural Scotland’s industrial past? What economic opportunities are about to present themselves? How can we better balance the wellbeing of our people and the needs of our planet? How can we work together to enact positive, meaningful change?
Speakers and contributors at the event include Fergus Ewing MSP, Cabinet Secretary for the Rural Economy, Robin McAlpine of Common Weal on the Green New Deal, Katherine Trebeck of the Wellbeing Alliance on the Rural Economy and Inclusive Growth, Aileen McLeod, former MEP, and Niall McShannon, Managing Director of Clydesdale Community Initiatives on social enterprise. The conference will also include a choice of field visits and a range of participatory workshops on topics such as climate change, re-population, community development and rural engagement.
The conference will also kick start our ‘rural movement’. Rural Scotland’s voice needs to be heard, and the Scottish Government has tasked us with making that happen. We need your input.
