This is a drop-in activity where you can envision the future of your city or your 'place'.

You'll imagine ideas for products, services, and initiatives that support the local sustainability and economy, then bring these concepts to life by building them in LEGO. Your creations will be placed on large maps, allowing you to explore future possibilities for work, careers, sectors, and businesses. This interactive event encourages creative thinking and offers a hands-on way to engage with the kind of innovative thinking that could transform the future of your community.

Along the way, you'll discover exciting opportunities that might be available to you!


This event is part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science 2024, in collaboration with the University of Southampton's Arts and Humanities Day.
