SRITC Virtual Cafe (BYOC)

In the first virtual cafe of 2021, we will be joined by members of the EU SMARTA & MAMBA project teams who will provide an overview of the rural mobility pilots that they have been running across Europe, highlighting the barriers encountered and opportunities identified.

This overview provides a great way to kick start what promises to be a very exciting year for the Scottish & international rural mobility community with many projects coming to an end and other beginning.

As always, there will be plenty of time after the presentations for Q&A and an opportunity to share your experiences and stories of living, working and supporting the travel needs of your community as the COVID pandemic continues to ebb and flow and impact us all in big and not so big ways.

Remember BYOC means Bring Your Own Cake. Yes, it's a new year and we may be watching our diet but there's always a good excuse for a slice of cake so get baking (or buying) so you can share your photos and create"cake envy".
