This week will bring together students of Edinburgh University with members of the Grassmarket Community (a city centre community supporting vulnerable citizens) to experience a week together at the Camas Centre on Mull.  Camas is one of the island centres of the Iona Community.  We hope particularly to engage students who are interested in the social care area who want to learn from and listen to members of the Grassmarket community.

The shared week would involve some physical work together e.g. gardening, painting, the sharing of stories, some environmental education related to place, and enjoying the beautiful island.

The ethos at Camas, of community building across difference and concern for sustainable living sits easily together with the ethos of the Grassmarket community, which aims to create community and provide sanctuary and support to participants, and the ethos of the Chaplaincy (which encourages diversity and inclusion).
