Data Detectives

The festival explores the world of social science, from how society has shaped our local areas to behaviours that help fight climate change. This year a number of our events will focus on "Our working Lives" to see what our working lives might look like in the future and how the changes that technology brings have changed the world of work rapidly over the past 100 years.
