Managing Migration: A public sector dialogue on migration to Scotland

14 November 2008
Teacher Building, St Enoch Square, Glasgow

This one day conference is an opportunity for senior officers and politicians to discuss migration and the challenges faced in their areas, and to engage in a Scotland-wide, strategic debate on how those challenges can best be addressed.

Scottish Churches and Contemporary Migration Conference

Wednesday 8th October 2008, 9.30am - 4.15pm
Scottish Storytelling Centre, 43-45 High Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1SR

Over many years the lives of Scottish people have been enriched by immigrants from many parts of the world. In the last century we have seen significant numbers of migrants from Ireland, Italy, the Indian Sub Continent, Africa and, to a lesser extent, from other places. More recently, we have seen considerable numbers of new migrants coming from Poland and other Eastern European nations. These new communities within Scotland continue to enrich the Nation, and the Churches in Scotland are keen to welcome them into our midst. This Day Conference will explore many of the issues around this new migration to identify key themes and challenges to which the Churches in Scotland can make a positive contribution.
