Programme

A clean supply of water is never taken for granted by the farmers in Karonga, Malawi. How are the farmers building their resilience to climate change and water scarcity? How can we share water more fairly? What action can we take here in Scotland? A fascinating and interactive event to learn about water stewardship, climate justice and responsible consumption.

This exhibition showcases inspirational women of faith from around the world who are working to challenge gender inequality. All the women whose stories are told here, both from Scotland and from across the world, work side by side with partners, colleagues, social movements, local communities, NGOs and faith organisations. Alongside them stand many others; none of them work alone. They are part of a wider movement for gender justice.

To kick of this years festival we thought we should all have a bit of fun. Come and explore the theme in a different way through creative pieces. A rare and special spoken word performance by Bram, the former Scottish Slam Champion (2015) and then Bibi June, the co-founder and director of ‘In The Works’. The Tales of the Great Turning have also specially made a storytelling piece and we’ll be finishing off the night with dancing. Come along, have a drink, some fun and meet other people in Edinburgh interested in social justice issues.
