Recently, several activities organised by Beltane partner universities have been confirmed or gone live. Be sure to check out:
Beltane Twilight | Public Engagement and Teaching: Two Sides of the Same Coin (26th June)
Beltane Breakfasts and Twilights are informal meetings where people from Edinburgh’s universities, and people who want to work with them, can come to find out more and share information about specific public engagement topics. At this Beltane Twilight, we’ll be hearing and discussing the thoughts of Thomas Bak on the similarities between public engagement and teaching.
Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas 2018 (3rd-27th August inclusive)
The tickets for the 2018 Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas (CoDI) are on sale!
Now in its sixth year, CoDI has been running at the Edinburgh Fringe since 2013. CoDI is a unique blend of serious academic research, irreverent comedy and a liberal dose of controversy – all in the cause of our universities’ brightest and bravest engaging with the public through the medium of entertainment at the world’s largest arts festival.
