Elphinstone Institute Public Lecture Series
CANCELLED due to illness
Simon Burnett will present the findings of research which examines the barriers to knowledge sharing in a social service, not-for-profit organisation in Scotland. He will go on to outline the #10Aberdeenstories project, which gives citizens an opportunity to get involved in helping fellow Aberdonians through a challenge in their lives, to share experiences, and to have their voices heard.
Ten stories have been published over 10 months on the ACVO and Volunteer Aberdeen website, chronicling the experiences of Aberdeen citizens. Details of the help given by various agencies, and the help still required, not only provide a resource for people experiencing the same issues, but enable citizens and agencies to offer further assistance.
Professor Burnett explains: 'Stories are tremendous tools for sharing experiences, and for reflecting on the experiences of others. It's great to see ACVO recognising their value in helping people overcome personal issues and improve personal well-being. We're delighted to be working with them on this significant project'.
