Community Learning and Development in Dundee #becauseofCLD October 2019 Community Learning and Development in Dundee Learner Journey - Fansa Fansa came to Scotland from Syria in May 2017 with her three adult children. Fansa had no formal education in Syria and wasn’t literate in either Arabic or, her native ESOL Literacies Group (Fansa, centre) language Kurdish. When Fansa first started attending English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes with Dundee City Council in October 2017 she would sit with her head in her hands in classes and say she didn’t understand. While she always attended, she seemed overwhelmed by the task of learning a new language in a new country. At the beginning of 2018 Fansa joined a small group to focus on her literacies needs, focusing on phonics, reading and writing using a multi-sensory approach. At that point, Fansa started to engage with learning and her motivation increased dramatically. She has formed a close bond with her classmates from Morocco and Spain, which helped to reduce her social isolation. Fansa currently attends general ESOL classes, her ESOL literacies group and the conversation class. She gets involved in every other opportunity offered to her and she is an extremely motivated and hard-working learner. She can now read and write simple sentences - with great pride and joy! She participates actively in all her groups: striving to do her utmost best in all areas of her learning and encourages other students to engage in class. Fansa is an inspiration to her classmates, the volunteers and the Adult Learning Team. All activities are free unless @IYNNorthEast stated otherwise. @IYNStrathmartine All venues are accessible wherever @IYNEastEnd possible. If you @IYNLochee @IYNColdside have accessibility @IYNTheFerry needs please contact @IYNMaryfield the group before @IYNWestEnd attending to discuss your requirements. 11 #becauseofCLD What do you think needs to happen for Dundee to be a Recovery Friendly City? Recovery Friendly Dundee aims to support everyone in their local community by raising awareness of the wider issues and stigma faced by people in recovery. We do this by bringing people together to share experiences, ideas and come up with community-led solutions. Substance use is the main focus of Recovery Friendly Dundee but it is important to recognise the strong links with mental health, inequality and other factors affecting an individual’s health. Send your ideas via this survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RecoveryFriendlyDundee We are also inviting individuals and groups to get creative by answering the above question using art, music, drama, dance, poetry or any other way you can think of. If you are interested, contact Robin Falconer on 01382 435854 or email [email protected] Coldside Community Groups Communities Officers support a wide range of community groups across the city. Detailed below are some current opportunities in the Coldside ward. To contact your local Communities Officer to find out how you can get involved across the city call 435808 or email [email protected] Coldside Community Forum Coldside Community Forum meets regularly to discuss issues affecting local communities in the Coldside Ward which includes Hilltown, Fairmuir, The Glens, The Law, Dudhope and Coldside. Currently discussions and consultations are around residential parking and the Hilltown district shopping area which will be ongoing. If you are interested in attending the meetings you can find out more by contacting Elaine Pratt on 433444 or contact @Coldside-Community-Forum on Facebook. 2 Friends of Dundee Law Friends of Dundee Law have recently formed and are becoming very active in the community with organising wildlife events, volunteer days and fun days throughout the year. There have been butterfly spotting events, bee information events, Easter egg hunts and a summer fun day to name but a few. The group would love some new members to help with the organisation and more people to help with these opportunities. If you would like to keep updated or get involved you can follow @friendsofdundeelaw on Facebook Coldside Events Group This group meets regularly to plan local big events such as the Coldside Fun Day in Hilltown Park and the Hilltown Christmas Light Switch On at Yorkes Butchers. The group is made of local people with a dedication to bringing their neighbours together to celebrate and enjoy their local community without the cost barriers that many of these events usually have. This means that everyone can enjoy them together. If you are interested in joining this group, supporting local events or would just like to volunteer some time on the day of events, get in touch with Jennifer Livingstone on 01382 433580 or follow www.facebook.com/IYNColdside to keep updated. Housing Matters We continue to need your help completing Annual Gas Safety Checks on time across the City. This is essential work. Please allow access to our engineers when we contact you so we can make sure we all live in a safe and protected environment.

    Political Change and Scottish Nationalism in Dundee 1973-2012 Thomas A W Stewart PhD Thesis University of Edinburgh 2019 Abstract Prior to the 2014 independence referendum, the Scottish National Party’s strongest bastions of support were in rural areas. The sole exception was Dundee, where it has consistently enjoyed levels of support well ahead of the national average, first replacing the Conservatives as the city’s second party in the 1970s before overcoming Labour to become its leading force in the 2000s. Through this period it achieved Westminster representation between 1974 and 1987, and again since 2005, and had won both of its Scottish Parliamentary seats by 2007. This performance has been completely unmatched in any of the country’s other cities. Using a mixture of archival research, oral history interviews, the local press and memoires, this thesis seeks to explain the party’s record of success in Dundee. It will assess the extent to which the character of the city itself, its economy, demography, geography, history, and local media landscape, made Dundee especially prone to Nationalist politics. It will then address the more fundamental importance of the interaction of local political forces that were independent of the city’s nature through an examination of the ability of party machines, key individuals and political strategies to shape the city’s electoral landscape. The local SNP and its main rival throughout the period, the Labour Party, will be analysed in particular detail. The thesis will also take time to delve into the histories of the Conservatives, Liberals and Radical Left within the city and their influence on the fortunes of the SNP.

  • For Fairness in Dundee
    For Fairness in Dundee A Strategy for Challenging Poverty and Promoting Inclusion in Dundee June 2012 2 1 For Fairness in Dundee Dundee presents two faces to the people who live here and to the rest of the world. One is of a modern, vibrant city which has undergone a remarkable transformation. Already we have seen the growth of our cultural facilities, innovation in the developing bio-science and digital media industries and the reinvention of the city centre as a real tourist and shopping destination. Building on this is the prospect of a new era of manufacturing offered by renewable energy production and the long term jobs that go with it. Perhaps even more significantly, progress continues towards the creation of V & A Dundee in a building and location which could radically alter the way the city is perceived across the UK and abroad. At the same time there is another Dundee where levels of poverty and deprivation make every day life a struggle for individuals, families and communities across the city; where too many people are more likely to have insufficient income, lower life expectancy, experience higher levels of crime, greater unemployment and lower educational attainment; where children are less likely to achieve positive life outcomes. The Dundee Partnership believes that every person and family in Dundee wants, and should have the right, to share in the success we achieve as a city. Everyone should have the right to be heard and valued and to participate fully in our community and that no one should be denied that because of their economic status.

This has been a productive year within challenging circumstances. This includes responding to impact of Welfare Reform, the levels of inequality which exists in the city, the profiles of signifi- cant number of communities which reflect high levels of deprivation and the demands which people experience in leading their daily lives. There has been considerable movement in relation to the development of new community facilities in the Coldside and Lochee Wards. Also the development of green and open spaces and playparks in Whitfield, Lochee and the West End, some of which have been made possible by community groups raising significant amounts of money to make this possible. Regeneration staff have played a pivotal role in this to ensure that local communities are engaged in the process. Regeneration staff continue to support Regeneration Forums and the three yearly elections were held in April this year resulting in new members being elected to the Forums. The main challenge in the coming year is to co-ordinate and lead the development of the Local Commu- nity Plans from 2017 onwards.
