The Gathering Extra 2025: Civic society’s role in advancing anti-racism

This flagship session shone a light on the ways in which civic society is advancing anti-racism in Scotland. The expert panel focused on two key areas, drawing on their own work and experience:

  • what is the role of civic society in advancing anti-racism within organisations, but also in the communities they support, including challenging far right ideas where they are encountered
  • challenging some of the Scottish exceptionalism that might exist, getting into the history and modern experience of racism here in Scotland
