Making a real difference to people’s lives in deprived neighbourhoods takes trust, building meaningful collaborations with vulnerable people and sustained effort over time. COVID has widened the poverty gap, changed our tools and further fractured our communities, making it harder for us to reach each other. Glasgow and Colombia are at once radically different and profoundly similar in their challenges. Looking at now and the future, Paul MacAlindin shows practical and strategic steps for professionals working, or who want to work on the neighbourhood level, whilst María Claudia Parias Durán, Juan Andrés Rojas Castillo and Vania Abello Olaya examine working on the regional and national level. This session helps develop your choices and tools to make the difference you seek to achieve wherever you are.
