51 Strangers takes its name from the alarming statistic that 51% of adults in Scotland said they hide their feelings of loneliness from other people. We’ll be joined by Mark Birkett from Peace & Justice Scotland who’ll help us question our perceptions of strangers, as well as find the right questions to ask others. This drop in session aims to challenge the rise in social isolation and loneliness, particularly among young people. The project aims to facilitate the opportunity for social connection through face-to-face dialogue, re-establishing the value of communication and trust.
