About 100 Years of Community Ownership (working title)
100 Years of Community Ownership (HYOCO) aims to share the story and impact of community ownership on rural and urban Scotland. In addition to transforming the lives and futures of the people who live in these communities, community ownership has helped shape land reform and establish Scotland as a leader in land justice internationally.
The project will include a nationwide programme of oral history and community archive training to create a new website that shares the history and achievements of Scotland’s community owners. A national tour in the Travelling Gallery in summer 2024 will showcase the impact of community ownership on Scotland’s social, economic, and natural heritage. Local events will celebrate the difference community ownership has made closer to home.
Supported by an Oral History Training Manager and by Community Land Scotland’s own expertise, the Community Ownership Curator will draw on the knowledge and experience of those involved in the community ownership movement of the last 30 years. This will include the stories collected from the oral history training, from Community Land Scotland members, staff, and Board members. The curator will also draw from academics and journalists, other land and community empowerment charities, the collections of the National Museums of Scotland and National Library of Scotland, and from politicians and policy makers, past and present.
