Building the community economy in Scotland: supporting learning and action (August 2020)
This Summary Discussion Paper supports understanding of the key elements and options for an emerging participatory research agenda to support, inform and critically consider the development of the community economy in Scotland and more widely. It does this by offering a range of frameworks to support dialogue and participatory research on building such an economy, and builds from What Works Scotland's earlier Community Anchor research report.
The Community Anchor Research Report illustrates, through a series of exemplars, the potential of these locally-led, multi-purpose bodies to facilitate a wide range of local economic, social, democratic and ecological development – or community-led place-making – and so local leadership focused on change – that are required in supporting them in taking such an agenda forward.
