Digital engagement workshops for Community Councils and Registered Tenant Organisations

Ryan, Bruce; Cruickshank, Peter

Abstract

In October and November 2015 Edinburgh Napier University (Napier) hosted a series of workshops on digital engagement for Community Councillors and representatives of Registered Tenants Organisations. These ‘#digiCC’ workshops were held in Ayr, Elgin, Forfar and Newton St Boswells.
The workshops mixed presentations by subject experts with round-table discussions by the attendees.
This report is intended to be read by all interested in community councils and Registered Tenants Organisations, including the Scottish Government (SG), Improvement Service (IS) and Local Authority
Community Council Liaison Officers (CCLOs).
It summarises the most significant findings from these workshops.
In summary, the events were well received and felt by delegates to be of immediate benefit. There is clear demand for more events of this nature, in particular for one in Glasgow. We would of course be
very happy to offer more #digiCC workshops, and to contribute to training programmes building on the needs we have found.
