🗺️ We have some fantastic events coming up at Easterbrook Hall from the Royal Scottish Geographical Society. First up on the 27th of January, 'The Journey West: Sailing Around the World'. In January 2022, young geographer Kirsty Fisher set sail from Antigua on board a 72ft sailing yacht bound for a circumnavigation of the world. From her adventures around some of the most remote areas of the globe, she shares her observations of the interconnectedness of humans in a vast world, the changing tide for women in sailing and, in a world of fast paced living and travel, the importance of enjoying the journey along the way. This sounds like it's going to be a fascinating event and it could maybe teach us a thing or two about human connection and communication, essentials in any business. We're really looking forward to it and hopefully we'll see you there! Book tickets via our website: https://lnkd.in/dDH8cN6z
