The Big Family Event
The BIG Family Event takes place on Saturday, 9 November, 2024 between 9.30am and 3pm at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh. Entry is FREE. Organised by Cyrenians Scottish Centre for Conflict Resolution, The BIG Family Event will give parents and carers and their young people the opportunity to connect, to learn and to have fun.
The Big Family Event will feature speakers, workshops and stalls run by SCCR as well as representatives of organisations who run family services, plus fun and creative activities that all the family can join in with. Cyrenians’ Cook School will be on hand to share cost-cutting tips, while there’s also a family yoga session and a Conversation Café.
