Meet the CIH Futures team (and some special guests!) as they lead a fun speed networking session. This session will allow you to meet your peers and grow your network.
Recent protests and disorder have placed housing providers and the communities they serve at the centre of deeply concerning tensions. Housing professionals are working with customers seeking reassurance, safety advice or immediate support. This means that the work of front-facing housing staff is more important than ever.
This discussion will showcase organisations making a positive impact in community cohesion and anti-racism.
Speakers
- Claire McGraw, Govanhill Housing Association
- Ronier Deumeni, African Challenge Scotland
- Anthony Morrow, Sanctuary Scotland
All Hands is a free, co-produced serious game about community resilience, developed by Socialudo with funding from the National Centre for Resilience. It uses a fictional community facing a flooding crisis to help players explore how different people and organisations work together to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies.
The game is designed to spark discussion, build understanding, and encourage players to think about risk, vulnerability, and preparedness in their own communities. Some of the most valuable moments happen not during the game itself, but in the conversations it prompts afterwards.
Speakers
- Professor Vikki McCall, University of Stirling
