The Scottish Centre for Regeneration (SCR) was disbanded on April 1, 2011.
The Scottish Government remains committed to the Learning Networks set up by the SCR and we are looking at the way in which we continue to support their work.
What is a learning network?
A learning network is a place where you can interact with others to share common concerns, problems and passions, whilst deepening your knowledge and expertise in the process.
We currently manage five learning networks:
What do these learning networks do?
Our learning networks are cross-Government initiatives that respond to needs expressed by people and organisations working in regeneration. They give practical help to those working at a local level and connect people from across Scotland. Offering a new way of helping you to improve your area, the learning networks:
- are responsive to your needs and help you deal effectively with problems
- enable you to learn in a way that suits you
- provide a dedicated co-ordinator with an allocated budget and access to a bank of experts, tools and resources
- provide their services free
What can the learning networks do for you?
The learning networks will help you to:
- learn from other people and organisations facing the same problems, through online networking and taking part in events, seminars, workshops, learning groups, peer-review sessions and project-development programmes
- access good practice and evidence of what works, including case studies; publications that record learning outcomes from previous programmes and events; and research from Scottish Government and other specialist networks or capacity-building programmes
- work with a bank of experts who will provide advice and share their experience through master classes, meetings, seminars and workshops, or as a critical friend
- access resources such as toolkits, online learning programmes and skills-assessment tools
- identify any new research, tools and resources you need, which we can then commission on your behalf
