Social Inclusion: Addressing the barriers to social inclusion can take many forms and in the City Of Edinburgh in September 2020 the Edinburgh Poverty Commission reported on their findings into an extensive inquiry into poverty in the City, A Just Capital Actions to End Poverty in Edinburgh and is a call to action for everyone in the city.
Cultural & Community Bridging: The OneCity Trust wants to create bridges between people, communities and organisations which are usually separated by a ‘cultural’ divide. The Trust views the word culture in its widest sense – sometime described simply as a shared awareness of ‘the way they do things round here’ – and does not restrict it to issues of national, ethnic, or socio-economic culture etc. Cultural bridging can occur where projects and organisations:
Encourage people from a wide range of different communities and backgrounds (e.g. different ethnicities, generations, socio-economic background and abilities to break down barriers and come together and create greater understanding and mutual connections.).
Ensure their activities are inclusive and open to all improving access to those services and proactively ensuring their staff have the skills to be inclusive and welcoming.
make it possible for people to come together from across real or imagined ‘divides’ to access servicesor carry out activities together for their own and their mutual benefit or enjoyment.
Civic inclusion: The OneCity Trust want to promote active citizenship and further developing civic society, promoting work which reflects the growing cultural diversity of the city, celebrates differences and commonality, leading to a genuine desire in every citizen to engage in tackling the inequalities which hamper the collective social and economic potential. They want to create a more socially just city. Civic inclusion can be promoted when projects and initiatives: use the characteristic uniqueness of Edinburgh to bring people together from across the city
seek to build a sense of identity and to articulate the specific ways in which the citizens connect to Edinburgh
encourage the sharing of different viewpoints within the diverse but connected community of the city (young, old, students, visitors, city-centre, city-outskirts, etc).
