After our incredibly successful first training in Edinburgh we have decided to keep the momentum going and start gathering champions all across our pilot areas. This next training will be in Falkirk and we encourage all those in the Falkirk, Stirling and Clackmannanshire who are interested to come along!
We need passionate and dedicated parents from diverse backgrounds who are actively involved in their community to volunteer with Gathered Together.Champions through the support being offered will empower ethnic minority parents to be more confident to get involved in their child’s education and school community.
Champions will gather evidence of parent’s experiences, share stories of parental involvement and be our link to the grassroots communities through the work they are already a part of and be able to engage with other local community groups and schools. They will gain skills to further their personal and professional development but most importantly have the opportunity to make a genuine difference.
Through the support being offered the volunteer will empower ethnic minority parents to be more confident to get involved in their child’s education and school community.
Gathered Together are running training sessions for individuals interested in becoming Community Champions. Lunch will be provided and we can help with travel costs. Our second session has been booked for:

Here are some photos from a lively session with parents at the Russian school. Thanks to everyone who came and Nina for organising it!
Have a look at our feedback targets from the last few sessions we held around Scotland.
These were from sessions for Ethnic and Cultural Minority parents. They were held in partnership with Karibu Women’s Group, Central Scotland Regional Equality Centre and an ESOL Class in Langside Campus, Glasgow.
We’re using this feedback for inspiration to work harder to make sure we hit those targets!
A massive thank you to Karibu Scotland for hosting our workshop for ethnic and cultural minority parents last week. Have a look at some of the pictures of our participants working on the mythbusters, participating in the lively discussion and sharing some delicious food after the session.
