Inspiring People Online Events

/// Inspiring People Online Events ///

In light of the current pandemic and venue restrictions, we have had to move our Inspiring People events online. Starting on 23rd September, we are hoping to hold one event per week on a Wednesday evening at 7.30pm, via Zoom. We are doing our upmost to help maintain our work programme, keep the Society afloat and serve our Members and supporters – so we hope you enjoy these online alternatives.

Each week, anyone is welcome to join these events from any of our Local Groups around Scotland, or indeed from anywhere around the world. Tickets to these events are available via www.rsgs.org, and are FREE for RSGS Members, U18s and Students, or £5 for Visitors. You must reserve a ticket to attend.

Each event will last approximately 60 minutes, and will feature a film produced by the speaker, followed by a live Q&A.

As ever, our programme of geographical practitioners – explorers, scientists, artists, academics, naturalists, leaders, communicators and enthusiasts – will bring amazing stories of journeys and adventures, and refreshing insights into current issues. So what are you waiting for?
