A NEW collaborative platform, Societay has been launched in Tayside..
More than 80 people from different sectors and backgrounds got together at the White Goose in Dundee for the launch.
The platform aims to help individuals and businesses creatively engage with one another to drive the Tayside business community forward and foster positive social change. The evening was sponsor-red by the White Goose in Dundee and SDUK Photography.
It has been set up by Chris Gardiner, Andy McGill and Daniel Rosie with the aim of creating informal meet-ups in Dundee where people can network.
Gardiner said: “We are passionate about bringing people in Tayside together, from creatives to councillors, students to social workers, designers to doctors and those from different sectors in Tayside.
We believe it has done just that, the evening has been great success and wide range of individuals from Tayside came.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
