The Power of Education

This short talk will consider the sometimes subtle and slow burn contribution of education and the assemblage of diverse inputs; people, places and practices that input into the process. It will consider the implications each of these hold for designing workforce transformation and developing a sustainable leadership model for the future.

Bloodscape

Come explore the changing landscape of blood in and beyond Edinburgh. Pick up the scavenger hunt clue sheet (50 George Square), and start an approximately 45 minute self-guided adventure that will let you see Edinburgh through the lens of blood – including changing trends, global campaigns and, of course, Harry Potter. Bloodscape will broaden your understanding of the origins and endings of blood as a vital good.

The scavenger hunt will also be available online during and beyond the 2018 Being Human festival.
