Begins September 2026, Dartington

Currently seeking speakers

Edge School is a new community conversation series in South Devon. Evening gatherings around ideas and creative investigations. We’re seeking speakers now. You do not have to have a degree or be an experienced speaker.

Our speakers are artists, actors, scientists, rite-of-passage guides, activists, academics, poets, neighbours, friends, or any combination of these things and far more. 

We want to hear about the vital questions and ideas local people are exploring in studios and workshops and barns and fields and bedroom-offices and their own beautiful minds. Each session will feature a (screen-free) talk or offering, followed by shared dinner then a discussion.

Would you like to investigate your current idea or question in this community space? Some guiding questions:

⚡Which idea or investigation is lighting you up right now, which might help us rise to these edgy times?

⚡Which questions are you living? Which questions do you long to explore with others?⚡

All speakers will be paid and fed. We’re taking expressions of interest until 31st July 2026. Please send ideas and friendly hellos to: hello.edge.school@gmail.com.
