AoU Coffee Break

If you’d like a break from work and meet some friendly faces, join us for an AoU Coffee Break!

These sessions are organised and hosted by a group of AoU Members based in Scotland, and are open to all. If you have never been to an AoU event before, or are thinking about joining the AoU, you are welcome to come along and join the discussion. 

On Thursday 5 September, we'll be hearing from guest Alex Wilde.

Alex currently works in the Shaping Places for Wellbeing Programme at the Improvement Service as a Project Lead. She has been working with statutory and third sector organisations who are taking a place-based approach to the development of plans and strategies, to support them with the use of data, insight, evidence and the Place and Wellbeing Outcomes. Over the last two years she has been working with partners in Argyll and Bute with a focus on Dunoon.
 
Wellbeing and place-making has been a consistent theme throughout her career, particularly how communities shape, adapt and creatively engage with where they live, work and play. A career over 20 years as an artist and development worker in community settings, as well as working for Sustrans and being on the board of Govanhill Baths Community Trust, led to a Masters in City Planning and working with the policy, strategy and infrastructure planning that also shapes these places. Specific interests are land ownership, food systems, transport systems and community empowerment.
