This was the second of our trips to Brussels with our partner organisations Europe for Scotland and Scottish Independence Podcasts. We invited MEPs to an event we organised at the European Parliament:

Simultaneously, we gathered outside the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh to flag-up the prospect of a better future as an independent country in the EU. Read this article in The National to find out more.
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.
The project is a collaboration between Yes for EU, Europe for Scotland and Scottish Independence Podcasts.
