Community Capacity Building in the Western Isles Written in an accessible language and littered with innovative ways of presenting research findings, Exploring Growth and Empowerment of Communities in the Western Isles documents and analyses a broad range of activity from across the isles which is helping to build stronger, more sustainable and more active communities. The report considers the meaning of the term ‘community capacity building’ and its significance to the community sector. It provides a snapshot of the vast amount of capacity building activity currently taking place throughout the Western Isles, considers the key challenges faced in carrying out such activity and documents suggestions for ways in which these may be addressed.

A Canadian approach to community development

On 6 March, Paul Morin, of the Université de Sherbrooke, Quebec, will lead a seminar discussion, based upon his experiences in using and evaluating the Estrie Community Dashboard. This is a participative and cross-sectoral approach to the production of community profiles. The goal of the Community Dashboard is to encourage local mobilization for practical action in community development. It has been used to stimulate action on the social determinants of health. You will hear about the Quebec experience and discuss how it relates to experiences and issues in Scotland.

The seminar is organised by CDAS in conjunction with SCDC and the CLD Standards Council. It will run from 10-12am at a venue in central Glasgow which will be confirmed later. Attendance is free, but must be booked by registering at http://www.communitydevelopmentalliancescotland.org/events/event/community-profiling-community-development-and-health-lessons-from-quebec/.
