A few months ago edEnlighten had the pleasure of building a partnership with an incredible organisation called D.Y.F. (Design Your Future). Since our partnership began we have obtained training and work space in Edinburgh City Council Chambers, and have been given the opportunity to work alongside the council on community social innovation projects. We are now excited to announce recruitment for the first intake of students and recent graduates to the D.Y.F. training programme and community for the 2016/2017 academic year!

Send an email to dyfedin@gmail.com to express your interest and come along to one of the awareness sessions! We are welcoming students and recent graduates of various backgrounds and experience levels who have a desire to grow personally, as well as to develop the skills that will help them to succeed and build a better world in the 21st Century.

For the first 20 or so years in one’s life, learning is a priority. After that? Learning just for the sake of it often takes a back seat in…

A reminder of all the unacknowledged hard work that goes into success is an important message for the new school year.

Panoramic seeds of wisdom to dive into September!

“It is almost banal to say so yet it needs to be stressed continually: all is creation, all is change, all is flux, all is metamorphosis.”
