Chats on a tram
Helsinki Design Week’s theme is “Q&A”
Helsinki, 7–17 September 2017
Helsinki Design Week’s series of Q&A
discussions are bound to be moving –
they’re being held on a moving tram. The
route will be tailored to each topic in order
to illustrate the specific subject matter. For
example, the street art discussion will take
a trip past Helsinki’s best graffiti. Speakers
include city council officials, designers,
researchers, rappers and the Ompeluseura
women’s network talk on the subject,
“How women can better support each other
professionally”. Note to Finnish speakers:
don’t be fooled by the network’s name,
Ompeluseura may mean “sewing circle” but
that’s just the famous Nordic irony.

TEDx future talks
If you no longer understand the world
Stuttgart, 23 September
The world seems to have got even weirder
than usual in the last year, so what better time
to hold a conference aimed at explaining it?
The TEDxStuttgart team has put together
a programme of 10 inspiring speakers,
including computer scientist Shreya Kumar,
who believes we could achieve a lot by going
back to face-to-face communication. Why
not start right now by asking the person sat
next to you what they think?
