In partnership with UHI and HIE, each instalment takes place in a different island community and is live streamed to ensure the widest possible reach. Through the series, the RSE aims to support networks of learning and knowledge sharing in the Islands as well as Scotland as a whole.
In Islands – present we will explore the unique position, brilliant stories, and present realities of life in Scottish island communities. Bringing together a range of community leaders and experts, we will discuss themes from language, archaeology, and landscape to the climate crisis, crofting, renewable energy, and much more.
