A Scottish delegation attended the European Rural Parliament in Kielce, Poland, from the 12-15th of September. Representing organisations from across Scotland, including Scottish Rural Action, the Scottish Government, Scottish Rural Network, Scottish Islands Federation, the Rural Youth Project, Rural Housing Scotland, and CoDel, we joined 350 other delegates from 40 countries over 4 days to share stories, ideas and solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing our rural communities.
One of the delegates, Claire Taylor, published an opinion piece in the Herald after hearing from a Ukrainian speaker tell stories of rural lives turned upside down by the war.
