Edinburgh Futures Institute

What we’ll be doing

We have 4 hours together so we’ll:

  • introduce ourselves

  • hear more about what we’ll be doing in the coming weeks

  • hear about an approach we’ll be using called the Three Horizons

  • consider how we’ll work together as a group

  • discuss our experiences of living in Edinburgh today

We’ll share some food and make time to chat with each other.

Payment

This will be a four hour activity so you those attending will be paid £120 each. You can read more about payments here.

If you can’t join us

Don’t worry, we are looking at running an alternative online session the following Tuesday 20th.

Getting there

The Futures Institute is on Lauriston Place. The nearest bus stop is ‘Victoria Street’ outside the National Library of Scotland (Lothian Bus routes 9, 23 and 27). From there, walk or wheel a little way towards Chambers Street. The Church is on your left hand side.

Alternatively, buses 35 and 45 stop on nearby Chambers Street.

The front of the building looks like this!

Inside the Building

When you reach the Institute, one of us will be waiting at the entrance (the big door in the centre of the picture above!)

We’ll be using a room called 0.10 which is one floor down from the main entrance. There’s a lift and stairs down to the room.

Toilets are nearby.

If you have any questions about getting here or access/moving around inside the building, do get in touch.

There are more pictures of inside the building here and a useful guide to accessing the Institute here
