Fly me to the moon…
Space exploration and research isn’t all about bobbing about in zero gravity in a puffy suit on the end of a bit of string. This fascinating lecture explores the many aspects of life back here on Earth that have been affected and enhanced by technology and innovation pioneered through studies of the cosmos.

Time to rhyme
National Poetry Day shakes poetry from its dust-jacket and into the nation’s streets, offices, shops, playgrounds, train stations and airwaves. Since it was founded in 1994, it has engaged millions of people across the country with live events, classroom activities, conversations, broadcasts, semi-comprehensible tweets and spontaneous uncontrollable outbursts of poetry. Get involved at Clare Cottage, which is holding a special writing session where visitors can pen their very own poems with expert help on standby.

The Moo Man
For anyone who cares about where their food comes from and the effects its production has on animals, the environment and consumers: the Moo Man is the wonderful story of a trailblazing farmer as he tries to break away from the cost-cutting methods of large-scale production. Aptly enough, it will be shown in a building in Cowgate.
The Moo Man documentary screening
Sunday, 6 October, 6 – 8.30pm
PECT Offices, The Green House, Cowgate
To book a place at the screening, visit www.greeniversity.org.uk/class/630
