As part of Edinburgh’s 900th anniversary, the Storytelling Festival and Centre are looking to the future, through the visionary eyes of Patrick Geddes, ecologist and educator. According to Geddes, one of Edinburgh’s world famous writers, our future lies in the merging of the natural world with human culture. To achieve this we need science and society to work together, citizen action, and creative learning.  

A day of workshops, screenings, talks and idea swaps will be held at SSC on Saturday 22nd February from 10.30am – 5.00pm with ‘pay as you can’ access.  The day is structured around Geddes’ key sayings: ‘Think Global, Act Local’, ‘By Leaves We Live’, ‘Place, Work, Folk’, ‘By Creating We Think’, and ‘By Living We Learn’.
