About
Considering Collective's home on Calton Hill as a civic site, free for the people of Edinburgh to enjoy, we have invited scholar, advocate, and consultant on childhood, Tim Gill, for a live presentation of his research considering the effects of COVID-19. Tim will discuss the changing nature of children’s play and free time over this period and their evolving relationships with the people and places around them.
Join us online, live from the City Observatory at Collective, as Tim presents his findings on Zoom and answers questions in the chat function.
Free event, donations requested. Please book in advance via Eventbrite.
