Encounters is a North Lanarkshire wide cultural festival with an eclectic programme that has something for everyone.  A month long feast of activity that includes authors, films, drama, dance, music, visual art and more, offered up through events, workshops, exhibitions and initiatives across the North Lanarkshire area.
 
I have been invited to be a speaker at this year's Festival on Monday 6 October 2014.
 
The historic Airdrie Observatory
 
The event will take place in the historic library of Airdrie Observatory.
I feel honoured to have been asked and very much look forward to the evening.
More details will be provided when known.
