We Chose to Climb’ is our two and a half day international gathering exploring the critical local and global challenges faced in extending greater choice and control to people over their own lives.  We shall come together to reframe the way we think, inspire critical fresh possibilities and solutions that reflect the core vision and principles of the SDS Act.

‘We chose to climb’ will hear from more than thirty compelling speakers from Scotland and around the world, appearing on the main and themed stages, giving timed talks on associated SDS theory, research, lived experience and innovative practice.

We are delighted to announce the first of our speakers:
