AECB Scotland Group & SEDA, Preston Model: Community Wealth Building: Going Local

July 21, 2020 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

About this Event

Julian Manley has worked closely with Cllr Matthew Brown, Leader of Preston City Council, and other stakeholders since 2012 in facilitating the development of what’s known as the ‘Preston Model’.

Julian will describe how Preston is going local / actively regenerating by keeping wealth created in the city. The Preston Model engenders democracy and participation – building on community wealth building work in USA.

Its existence depends on people – and people are different everywhere. So, the idea is to ignite ideas that work for people in different places.

The breakout discussions will generate practical ideas for the application of these ideas to real life economic, social and climate challenges facing communities in Scotland.
