Events
Co-pro Week Learning Event 2024:
How do we embed co-production across Scotland?
Wednesday, 20th November 2024, 10am - 12:30pm, online
This learning event will bring SCN members together to explore how we can meaningfully embed co-production into how services and support are delivered across the country.
Attendees will discuss what structures, systems and, crucially, resources are needed to cement co-production as a way to advocate for the value of lived experience, and shift the balance of power in decision-making.
We'll also be highlighting all the resources and information contained within the new Co-production Guide!
Using Human Learning Systems in Co-Production Practice
Friday 22nd November 2024, 9.30am-11.00am, online
Human Learning Systems (HLS) offers a relational and learning-focussed way of working with the complex reality of people’s lives to support them to flourish. This interactive online workshop, hosted by ThemPra Social Pedagogy CIC, introduces HLS and explores how your co-production practice fits with Human Learning Systems, with practical ideas for your own practice.

Fife Voluntary Action - Together for Change project resources
Fife Voluntary Action (FVA) have recently launched resources from their Together for Change project, a co-production project that aimed to capture and understand the experiences of children, young people, and families in Fife. By using a co-productive approach, the views and experiences of children, young people and families become central to system transformation and the future funding of children’s services, leading to better outcomes and service experiences.
Scottish Recovery Network - Creating Hope with Peer Support
The Scottish Recovery Network work with groups, organisations and services to co-deliver Creating Hope with Peer Support workshops to their peer workers, volunteers and and supporters. The Creating Hope with Peer Support project provides spaces where the voices of lived experience are recognised and valued, and people, organisations and services to come together to connect and share learning around suicide prevention.
