What's on offer?
A lively, 1.5 hours, hands-on workshop. Become a time traveller to tackle legal and money puzzles. Expect games, storytelling, group challenges, and plenty of laughs as we explore questions like “Could you fix today’s money problems by changing the past?”.
Free, welcoming and designed so families leave with new ideas and maybe a few “what if” stories to share on the way home.
What's it about?
If you could travel back in time, what would you change about money, jobs and the cost of living? In this playful workshop, you’ll explore these big questions in a fun way. Working in small groups, you’ll tackle challenges such as: What rules should stop people from getting rich by knowing the future? How might changing history affect prices, savings or fairness? Through games, drawing and short discussions you will invent your own “time travel laws” and think about fairness, responsibility and money.
Who's leading the event?
Dr. Mirosław M. Sadowski, School of Law, University of Strathclyde
Dr. Alexander Simmonds, School of Law, University of Dundee
Open to
Families/carers with school-age children
Of particular interest to
Families with children aged 8–14 who enjoy stories about time travel, adventure or “what if” questions, and to anyone curious about how money, fairness and rules might work in a world with time machines.
