A short film which imagines the city of Glasgow as a village of 100 people and asks 'what would it be like?'

GCPH worked in partnership with the Scottish Community Development Centre (SCDC) to test asset based approaches to improving community health and wellbeing. Supporting different communities across Scotland to design, test, and gather evidence of the change that comes from taking an asset-based approach in their local areas. The ultimate aim of the research and learning programme was to produce new evidence of the impact made by asset-based interventions on health and wellbeing. The programme ran until September 2015. This short film captures the reflections of the people of Milton and their experience of working with researchers on the Animating Assets collaborative action research programme.

Since 2010 the University of Strathclyde, the University of Herat and the NGO PeaceWaves International Network have been collaborating on two projects funded by the British Council. The first, under the scheme called DelPHE and started in September 2010, is a three year collaborative research project titled Afghan Civil Society's opinion and suggestions regarding women's empowerment and children's education in their country. 15 young Afghan researchers have been trained on quantitative and qualitative research methods. Parallel to that, a questionnaire and some focus groups have been developed and are due to be run by the young researchers across the six Afghan Provinces. The aim of this project is to give a voice to Afghan Civil Society regarding two main emergencies in their country (that are also points raised by the Millennium Development Goals, 2009): women's empowerment and children's education. In this lecture members of the team will present an overview of their work, together with findings so far and the implications of these for a country living with the consequences of a long period of war and devastation.
