This project kicked off on 9 April 2025 with a visit to the European Parliament in Brussels. Our delegation comprised Yes for EU Team members, Europe for Scotland representatives, former Scottish MEPs, and Scottish Indypodcasters. At the Parliament we met with several current MEPs from different EU countries and a number of advisors. We wanted to find out whether Scotland would be welcome back in the EU once we are an independent country. On our return to Scotland, we held a well-attended “report back” event on 9 May 2025 in Edinburgh, to celebrate Europe Day and the 75th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration. Scottish Government Minister Kaukab Stewart addressed the gathering, and journalist Assa Samaké-Roman chaired a panel session with former MEPs Heather Anderson and Alyn Smith. We shared the outcomes of the Brussels meetings, including distributing an 8-page pamphlet giving details of the project to all participants.
We are currently planning the next phase of this project and more details will be released soon so please bookmark this page!
The project is a collaboration between Yes for EU, Europe for Scotland and Scottish Independence Podcasts.
