At Paws for Progress we are thrilled to be hosting a two day event focusing on “The Value
of Human-Animal Interactions”. This event will be held on Friday the 18th and Saturday the
19th of September at the Stirling Court Hotel on the University of Stirling campus.
We would be delighted if you could join us to explore and celebrate the incredible
relationship between humans and animals. Across the two days there will be a range of
excellent guest speakers who will discuss the value of HAI in a variety of settings
including health care, education and rehabilitation. The event will feature talks from
Rebecca Leonardi (Paws for Progress), Elizabeth Ormerod (SCAS), Belinda Johnston (Our
Special Friends), Jo Williams (The University of Edinburgh) and Lesley Winton (Fostering
Compassion), alongside many networking opportunities and interactive workshops.
Workshops will be run by representatives from a range of organisations, including Dementia
Dog, Dogs for the Disabled, Star Wards, SSPOT, People and Animals, Turn About Pegasus and
more.
Refreshments will be provided throughout the day alongside a 2 course lunch, and there
will also be the opportunity to bring your own information stand or display for no extra
charge. Please get in touch with us at
