Getting from one place to another
Five episodes that explore transformation, self-discovery and change. Where are you now and where do you want to be? Have a listen and a think.
Our future selves are hidden. We might have a dream or a plan or a scheme but how does it all actually happen? Are we all imposters never truly believing, or just on a constant quest to find the right place at the right time with the right people?
Each episode of Sharing things is a conversation between two members of our university community. It could be a student, a member of staff or a graduate, the only thing they have in common at the beginning is Edinburgh. What happens next is sometimes funny, sometimes moving and always unexpected.
