Inspired by Geddes' educational philosophy, the Centre fosters learning for all through 'Hand, Heart and Head', learning by 'doing'.

The Centre offers a broad programme of events, tours, educational visits, academic engagement and project collaborations. Our work is inspired by the life and interests of Geddes – from our built heritage and collectively shaping our future, to his championing of sciences, social reform, music and art.
