Woodlands Community Development Trust
Join us at Woodlands Community Development Trust to learn how we build social connections though transforming local spaces. Be inspired by our Anti-Racist Library, the first of its kind in Scotland. In our anti-racism work, we take an expanded view of what a library is. It is, of course, a collection of books but any library is also so much more. Libraries are places to gather, to meet people, to share stories, troubles and conversation. They are places to come for information or to be signposted to services. They are social spaces where nobody needs to spend any money and so are egalitarian by their very nature. The Anti-Racist Library is no different. Our books are carefully curated to carry forward anti-racist education in a community setting and act as a vehicle for conversation. All are welcome, so come along to learn more! At Woodlands, we believe beautiful spaces support creativity, so visit our community Meeting Room and Garden to find out how these spaces support our programme of events, or see how they might spark ideas for your next workshop, rehearsal, group or project…
