Space + Conversation
An evening of entertainment and thoughtful discussion on Scotland’s growing space sector, how it impacts daily life, and how we can engage with it.
What to expect:
Stuart will set the scene, sharing what he’s learned exploring this sector
Informal conversation where people share thoughts on the relevance of space to day-to-day existence, ask questions, voice concerns
Interactive exercises to encourage discussion and creativity
Hear from a mix of scientists and creatives who don’t work in the sector about their perspective, and figure out ways we could all tap into the wonders of space
Food, keeping the conversation happening over dinner
Music and literature performed throughout the evening, as well as screenings of short films and other relevant multimedia
We’re planning this to be a gathering of friends between 12–20 max, at 50 George Street, Edinburgh, on Thursday 20th March 2025. We’ll start at 6.30pm and finish before 10pm.This event is a pilot, and as this is its first outing there will be no charge. We only ask that you come with an open mind, and please share your honest feedback afterwards.
The aim of this event is to be
informative: you’ll learn some surprising new facts about how much is happening in the space sector globally, but also right here in Scotlandengaging: it’s not a lecture, but rather provides a platform for you to express your own views and help shape a more diverse and inclusionary view on spaceinspiring: despite the current state of the world, adopting a ‘cosmic perspective’ can provide a sense of awe and wonder, and we’ll turn to these throughout the evening.
If this sounds like something you’d be happy to take part in, please RSVP.
