Following on from SE Reset Week in May 2020, SENScot will be hosting ‘Restart and Rebuild Week’ – from Monday 16th November through to Friday 20th November. Bookings will open on Monday 19th October (see link above for fuller details and event programme). The week of online events – over 20 are scheduled – will be run in partnership with local and thematic SENs and other partners from across Scotland’s social enterprise community. They are being designed to address how, together, our sector can move towards recovery from the impact of Covid 19 – in the hope of informing, inspiring and connecting social enterprises from across the country. The Restart and Rebuild programme, as stated, will include a wide range of national and local organisations to help co-host individual sessions. Some of these are already open for bookings – and include GCU for the John Pearce Memorial Lecture ; The Melting Pot for The Future of the Office and Basic Income Conversation for Social Enterprise and Basic Income.
