Over the weekend of 2-3 November, RYA Scotland welcomed representatives from different organisations and backgrounds to the Regional Performance Centre in Dundee for a packed weekend, including lots of opportunity to network, ask questions and spark new ideas.
The Connected Scotland gathering was also made free of charge for attendees this November thanks to kind sponsorship from Freedom Boat Club Loch Lomond.
With a whole range of different workshops, carousel sessions, plenary talks and support resources all on the go, it was fantastic to hear all that’s happening and all that’s on the agenda at locations across Scotland.
Reflecting on the weekend, RYA Scotland development manager Liza Linton said: “Hopefully this has been a valuable weekend and useful networking opportunity. We hope attendees have been able to meet a variety of people over the one or two days they attended.
“We hope everyone had the chance to hear about some similarities in relation to what they’re currently up to or working through, hear some challenges, hear some solutions, gain some ideas and perspective… or actually just find out it’s not just them, and sometimes that’s nice.”
The weekend was also a fantastic opportunity to regroup and share progress around RYA Scotland’s ongoing ‘Youth Voices’ youth engagement effort which is nearing formal launch following a successful consultation period over the summer and autumn.
