In the last of our FUTURES blog series, we look at the festival’s ongoing impact – in particular, the Our World From Space project, which is working with schools across the city to deliver impactful and innovative science education.

At the core of FUTURES 2024 was the Pop-Up Curiosity Shop, based in Exeter’s Princesshay Shopping Centre. Open throughout the weekend, this shop hosted an array of creative events – from using VR to explain bird navigation, to a research treasure trail.  

One of the highlights of last year’s FUTURES festival was the launch of Exeter’s ‘We Still Have a Chance’ legacy mural. Commissioned by the University of Exeter Green Futures COP27 Team and Art Work Exeter, this mural is a message of hope towards ending the climate crisis and creating sustainability at the heart of the city.

Next in our series on the recent FUTURES festival is a look at our individual workshops and events, hosted in Exeter city centre across the weekend.

This blog is the first in an upcoming series on FUTURES 2024, encompassing a course of events spread around Exeter and beyond. In this series, we will be sharing some of this year’s highlights – including the launch of Exeter’s latest mural, interactive workshops, and the Killer Fungus Experience.
