SCCR Online Conference 2025 - Can't, Not Won't
Created: 25/02/2025
News/Events Category: Children and Families
Cyrenians Scottish Centre for Conflict Resolution invites you to their month-long, digital online conference of free events this March. ‘Can’t not won’t' – is there a choice? Or is there a barrier?’ features talks, workshops and Q&As hosted by highly regarded speakers in their field who will talk from their heart with great knowledge and experience.
This year’s conference theme offers participants a reset of expectations surrounding vulnerable young people and looks at the difficulties they can face. For many young people, it’s not a case of ‘won’t’ but of ‘can’t’; life has limited their ability to make progress. The conference will examine what these barriers are, how they came to be – and what we can do to help them pass these obstacles.
