Co-production Week Scotland took place from 22nd - 26th Nov 2021.
It was a chance for people to come together and share ideas, learning and stories about how co-production puts people and communities at the heart of the support and services they’re part of.
We were delighted that so many people got involved! Below are some of the events that took place during the week, and some fantastic blogs. Enjoy!
Here’s what happened:
