4. Have effect on the sustainable development campus – respond to a student survey
The students of the Creative Sustainability degree programme have produced a student survey and we hope to receive as many answers as possible. The survey is part of the project which aims to clarify the role of students on the campuses of Aalto University and the Aalto community from the perspective of sustainable development.
It takes only a few minutes to respond to the survey. Please follow this link and take the survey: http://www.webropol.com/P.aspx?id=503475&cid=46641498
5. PechaKucha Night on 14 Dec
Helsinki Design Week and the University of Helsinki organise the PechaKucha night in the main building of the University of Helsinki, Aleksanterinkatu 5, on 14 Dec 2010, 8pm-11pm. The speakers include, among others:
Jani Leinonen, Artist, Hannes Lohi, Professor of Molecular Genetics, Esa Laaksonen, Architect and the Chief of Alvar Aalto Academy and Mikael Silvanto, Young Designer 2010.
PechaKucha Nights originate from Tokyo and they bring creative talents to the stage. The purpose of the night is to get creative people to share their ideas, inspirations and visions in the 20X20 format of PechaKucha. This means a format where you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds, and you talk along to the images.
