What’s it about?

Can you imagine what our lives would be like without water? What would Stirling and places we visit look like if is never rained? How would this change our daily lives?

Through creative writing and an open discussion of ideas, this 2 hour interactive event will explore how daily life is shaped by access to water. By sharing stories developed from our research in communities in Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda and learning more about water in Scotland, we will support participants to imagine what their daily lives would be like if it stopped raining in Scotland, with insights from Scottish Water. Participants will then be encouraged to produce stories and images to record their ideas.

Who?

Families- children with parents/guardians welcome!
