Central Scotland Police are hosting a multi-cultural and faith event, on Sunday 16^th March 2008, at the Falkirk campus of Forth Valley College.

The event is scheduled to begin at 1.00 a.m., with two or three short presentations (we have secured the services of Professor Mona Siddique as a key speaker), followed by an informal workshop session run according to the World Café Culture structure. This part of the event would allow informal but focused discussion on several key issues, including:

Engaging with young people - getting it right

Are service providers priorities your priorities?

What can we do to serve you better?

What does good quality community engagement look like?

The enemy within?  Counter terrorisim and its impact on local communities

Feeling safe in the forth valley

Safe haven or hostile territory?  Asylum seekers and migrant workers in forth valley

Reaching out - Reporting and tackling racist and religious harrasment

The business aspect of the event would run until around 5 p.m., and be followed by a much less formal social and networking session, with a buffet dinner and entertainment.
