Scottish Community Development Network

About

SCDN's mission is to be a strong, dynamic organisation which provides a forum for community development practitioners, paid or unpaid, to share experiences, exchange information, discuss and debate practice and policy issues, within a framework which seeks to empower communities. The key purpose of community development work is to collectively bring about social change and justice, by working with communities to: 1 - Identify their needs, opportunities, rights and responsibilities Plan, organise and take action 2 - Evaluate the effectiveness and impact of the action This will be done by continually challenging oppression and tackle inequalities, staying true to our beliefs that community development should be rooted in values and principles.
