Dearest Scotland

Dearest Scotland invites you to write to the future of Scotland. 2014 is the year we decide, as a nation, our future direction. But where are we going? What should our future look like? What do we who live in Scotland actually think?

The Dearest Scotland team will be at the Library holding writing workshops giving you the space to write your letters visioning Scotland’s future with a focus on women.

The writing workshops will be at 4pm and 5.30pm and you are welcome to stay in the library until 7pm to spend time writing your letter.

Dearest Scotland is an apolitical campaign, focused on crowdsourcing a future vision for Scotland by the public for a common good. A place where visions for the future of the country are collected then published to be shared with the world and ultimately aim to give a platform to citizens’ voices from all over Scotland. They are aspiring to collect letters from each of Scotland’s regions, and farther afield from Scots who live abroad. From the Central Belt to the Shetlands, from our Highlands to our hamlets, we hope to receive visions via every nook and cranny.

Why not also attend one of our Dream Time sessions this summer where in a supportive, reflective way women can dream about their ideal society. What kind of community they really want to live in?
