International Links | |
|
Throughout the development of Community Campus we have forged and developed a healthy network of international linkages. Since 1992, when we attended the Third Working for Common Wealth conference
based around people centred development, we have maintained our involvement
with COMMACT (Commonwealth Association for Local Action and Economic Development),
who organised the conference. COMMACT brings together those people and
agencies working in both the developed and less developed Commonwealth
countries. We learn from each other, those working in less developed countries
have vast experiences of tackling economic disadvantage that can be applied
to disadvantaged communities in the developed world. We have taken part in a further 4 international conferences (Craigmillar – Scotland 2000; Brussels 2001; Germany 2002 and Liverpool 2004). The Chair of the organisation, Chris Kemp, took part in the COMMACT exchange programme to India in 2006 and the organisation was part of the network that hosted two Indian colleagues in 2001, showing them local developments in the UK.
