Bridging Communities

The Melting Pot in partnership with Glasgow City Innovation District (GCID), the University of Strathclyde’s Social Innovation Cluster and some of the city's most engaged community builders, are offering a chance to gather, connect and lean into the innovative potential of your local communities.

How can cross-sector collaboration enable us to make change and create a positive impact for the planet? We will hear stories from the communities who have made change happen and the impact this has had.
