ABSTRACT In the context of a dramatic rise in food bank use in Scotland, the A Menu for Change project, delivered by Oxfam Scotland, Child Poverty Action Group in Scotland, Nourish Scotland and The Poverty Alliance, aimed to reduce the need for emergency food aid by improving local responses to food insecurity. Between 2017 and 2019, project officers worked with key stakeholders in Dundee City, East Ayrshire and Fife to identify and address challenges that people experiencing acute food insecurity face in accessing all the financial support and advice to which they are entitled. The project employed a cross-sectoral and multi-level approach in these three local authority areas. This account reviews the way action learning was used by the A Menu for Change project in Scotland, including an example of how one presentation led to practical changes in local referral patterns. The project demonstrated that action learning can be a useful approach for creating, supporting and developing relationships across complex systems and a mechanism for establishing the groundwork for social change. Facilitators learned that there is a need to work closely with stakeholders inside and outside the set to ensure the benefits of reflective learning influence policy and practice change.

利用行动学习解决苏格兰的粮食不安全问题

摘要 在苏格兰食品银行使用量急剧增加的背景下，由苏格兰乐施会、苏格兰儿童贫困行动小组、滋养苏格兰和贫困联盟提供的“变革菜单”项目旨在减少对紧急食品援助的需求通过改善当地对粮食不安全的反应。2017 年至 2019 年期间，项目官员与邓迪市、东艾尔郡和法夫郡的主要利益相关者合作，确定并解决经历严重粮食不安全的人们在获得他们有权获得的所有财政支持和建议方面面临的挑战。该项目在这三个地方当局领域采用了跨部门和多层次的方法。这个帐户回顾了苏格兰的 A Menu for Change 项目使用行动学习的方式，包括一个演示如何导致本地推荐模式发生实际变化的示例。该项目表明，行动学习可以成为创建、支持和发展复杂系统之间关系的有用方法，也是为社会变革奠定基础的机制。辅导员了解到有必要与课程内外的利益相关者密切合作，以确保反思性学习的好处影响政策和实践的变化。
