Description

As part of the official programme of the Edinburgh International Book Festival 2024 poet Jennifer Williams and the Recycling a Hospital team ran a workshop which explored how stories from the past inspire dreams of the future. Recycling a Hospital encourages us to think about the Edinburgh Futures Institute’s history as a place of care, and how we can carry stories from the hospital’s past meaningfully into the future. Join us as we use simple techniques to explore how poetry can be a portal for our memories of the old Royal Infirmary and ideas of how care will take shape at EFI for years to come.
