Events open to all on 2nd May 2018, Camuscross, Isle of Skye
Camuscross & Duisdale Initiative and LifeMosaic invite you to a unique opportunity to meet with Misak indigenous leaders from Colombia, Jeremias Tunubalá Ullune, and Liliana Pechene Muelas. They will be visiting Camuscross, the Isle of Skye as they tour Scotland to share their experiences of long-term community visioning and planning, and learn about Scotland’s journey towards land reform and community empowerment.
We’d appreciate your support to help make the tour happen. We’re looking to cover a short fall in funding through a crowdfunder - have a look here and contribute if you can!
