ESU Speakers’ Corner Challenge Finalists speak at Patrick Geddes Learning Festival

by | Oct 23, 2017 | Blog

We were delighted that some of our Speakers’ Corner Challenge finalists were invited to speak at the Patrick Geddes Learning Festival at the shiny new Patrick Geddes Centre. The event was kindly organised by PAS (Planning Aid Scotland) and speakers included academics, educators, artists, architects, politicians and planning specialists.

Rob, Tom and Emily gave fantastic speeches and the audience were really impressed by their skills and knowledge. The audience had the opportunity to ask questions to the speakers as a panel, and the time ran out far sooner than the questions.

Many thanks to the speakers, parents and teachers for coming along to the event.
