| The Forum is a membership organisation committed to building a new culture of active citizenship, in which the people of Scotland have a genuine opportunity to be involved in influencing the Government policies that affect their lives. We are building links between the people of Scotland, the Scottish Executive, the Scottish Parliament and between different parts of civic society. |  |

Citizens' storiesIn 1999 Scotland entered an exciting new era. For the first time in 300 years it has its own Parliament. The devolved Scottish Parliament was heralded as the advent of 'new democracy' in Scotland - embodying new ways of working that would enable civil society to be actively involved in developing public policies and to be able to influence the decisions that affect them. Seven years on, with two sessions of parliament behind us and recent elections, what do citizens in Scotland think? We want to hear your experiences of devolution - the positives and the negatives. We have all seen and heard the media spin - but what are the real stories - your stories? You can tell us your view or story.
Sus it Out Scotland Inquiry - is Scotland a Developing Country?We want to hear whether you think Scotland is ready to build a culture of sustainable development. We are interested in all aspects of sustainable development whether they relate to reducing our impact on the environment, improving social justice, economic growth linked to creating sustainable communities. We are collecting views from people throughout Scotland and the results will be widely disseminated. Tell us what you think by following this link. This is part of a project of the Future Scotland Partnership called 'Sus it Out'. Sus it Out is funded by the Scottish Government and is managed by the Scottish Civic Forum.
