We are Scotland - Scottish Government’s Community Cohesion Campaign

Communications activity from the Scottish Government is working to promote the shared values that strengthen our communities and show the benefits of community cohesion in action, while also providing reassurance around existing support and services available for communities.     

Supporting community cohesion is a shared endeavour and we are more successful when we work together. 

Three distinct strands of activity will deliver this:

We are Scotland is a humanising, emotive campaign, leveraging Scotland’s inclusive values.  Running on TV, Outdoor poster sites, digital and social media channels it will remind the people of Scotland that we are stronger for the diversity that shapes us. The We are Scotland campaign launches on 27 November and will run until 15 December, with a second burst live in the New Year from 1 to 24 January.

Key Messages to support your own external communication: 

  • Together, we are Scotland. Community spirit belongs to all of us. When we support each other and celebrate our shared values, everyone can belong and thrive. 
  • Looking out for one another is not optional or idealistic; it is part of the fabric of our lives in Scotland.
  • We value diversity not just as a principle but as a strength that enriches our society and our economy.  
  • Scotland thrives when we work together. From our cities to our towns, rural areas to islands, communities across Scotland show what's possible when we come together with respect, creativity, and care. 
  • Everyone has a role to play. Every act of kindness, moment of cooperation, and positive interaction builds the Scotland we all want to live in. 
  • Scotland's strength comes from our rich mix of communities, cultures, and experiences. When we embrace what makes us different and celebrate what brings us together, we all benefit. 
  • Community spirit is shown through action. It's in how we look out for neighbours, support local groups, and stand together. These everyday moments create lasting change.
