One of the biggest virtual events focused on land use in Scotland is being held in Spring 2021, organised by the Scottish Ecological Design Association (SEDA), in conjunction with the James Hutton Institute. The OU is pleased to be supporting this series of conversations.  

Over the course of six weeks, around 50 speakers on all aspects of rural land use will engage in six 'conversations'. This series has been organised as a response to the climate emergency and the Covid-19 pandemic. 

The conversation on Monday 29 March (Conversation 5) will focus on changing economic patterns: reimagining where we live and work.

Creative Writing tutors from the OU in Scotland will share their writing at each conversation, to stimulate fresh ways of thinking; this conversation include a live reading by Sophie Cooke and a soundscape / video by Jules Horne. 

More information about the whole conversation series, a video trailer and ticket booking is available on the SEDA websiteTicket prices range from £5.00 to £12.00.

You can try OU course content for free on the OpenLearn site, such as short courses on Writing Poetry and on Climate Change.
