About SCDN
The Scottish Community Development Network (SCDN) is open to anyone with an interest in community development in Scotland. We support community development practitioners from across sectors and in a range of roles to work with and within communities.
What is Community Development?
SCDN believes that the key purpose of community development work is to collectively bring about social change and justice, by working with communities to:
- Identify their needs, opportunities, rights and responsibilities
- Plan, organise and take action
- Evaluate the effectiveness and impact of the action
We will do all of this in ways which continually challenge oppression and tackle inequalities, staying true to our beliefs that community development should be rooted in values and principles.
Why does SCDN exist?
Our 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.
