Take One Action run a varied programme that includes a 12-day festival in Edinburgh & Glasgow, two weekend festivals in Aberdeen & Inverness, a network of local film clubs across Scotland and a range of events delivered year-round.
Come, take part, and be inspired.
Throughout the festival we will be running a short film booth at CCA, where you can enjoy a diverse range of short films from our catalogue.
This inspiring interactive exhibition collects images and artefacts from decades of creative activism around the world, connecting communities in Scotland and across the global south as they unite against big business, locally and globally, and demand that human lives come before corporate profit.
Be inspired by those who have faced challenges yet successfully campaigned for positive change – and find your own route into action. Join us for a day of connection, inspiration and skills building, from grassroots mobilising to political lobbying.
