Recycling a Hospital Writing Workshop: Poetry, Memory and Future Dreaming

20th August 3:30 PM 5:00 PM BST

Can stories from the past inspire dreams of the future? Recycling a Hospital encourages us to think about the Edinburgh Futures Institute’s history as a place of care, and how we can carry stories from the hospital’s past meaningfully into the future. Join us as we use simple techniques to explore how poetry can be a portal for our memories of the old Royal Infirmary and ideas of how care will take shape at the Futures Institute for years to come.


Supported by Edinburgh Futures Institute.
