About This Event

The workshop Making Ideas Happen will take place at A&DS:SpACE on 15 September 2026. Participants are invited to play a neighbourhood game and share ideas about future community development. The event is hosted by the Edinburgh Futures Institute within The University of Edinburgh.

Play our neighbourhood game, share ideas about the future of neighbourhoods & how to make them happen

Have an idea in your head for your neighbourhood?

Bring your idea(s) along for what you would like to see happen in your neighbourhood. It can be big, small, realistic, conceptual, silly...

In a group setting we will hold a neighbourhood meeting to develop each idea and uncover what is needed to make it happen.

You will put yourself in the shoes of someone else and explore their perspective whilst considering what should happen now, next and later.

The ideas generated will contribute to the interactive exhibition display.

This event is part of a wider upcoming event/exhibition series we are hosting in A&DS:SpACE at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, and we would love for you to be a part of it. We are hosting these events with support from Architecture and Design Scotland (A&DS), who runs the venue in collaboration with Space for Architecture, Carbon & Environment (SpACE) and are giving us access for free.
