Join us for our June Community Knowledge Matters Community of Practice session - the last one before the summer break! 💡

Taking place online on Wednesday 24th June at 2pm, this is a chance to connect with peers and explore community-led research in a supportive and informal space.

This month, we will be exploring cultural and artistic approaches to research and sharing ideas for participatory creative research and evaluation. As always, there will be opportunities to reflect on sector-wide issues, hear examples from across Scotland and take part in open discussions shaped by the interests and experiences of those attending.

What happens when lived experience is treated as valuable knowledge, not just feedback?

On Thursday 11th June, partners involved in the Collaboration for Mental Wealth in Moray will gather in Elgin to launch a new interactive digital tool designed to help make collective voice more visible, accessible and useful in shaping future services and systems.

The tool brings together what people across Moray have shared about mental health, wellbeing, services and community life, turning lived and living experience into visual data that can help identify patterns and priorities across communities.

Alongside a first look at the tool itself, the event will explore rights-based approaches, ethical lived experience research and how shared learning between communities, practitioners and organisations can support fairer decision-making in Moray.

If you’re involved in community work, research, health and care, policy, recovery, have lived experience or are simply curious about collective voice and systems change, this event is open to you.
