The 23 of March is a day to celebrate the Nordic community and make it even bigger. Arcada invites you to join the seminar Nordic Day 2022: Diverse stories, common ground and a shared future.
Join us for a morning of presentations and dialogues on the importance of being true to oneself and still find common ground!
The seminar kicks off from two phenomena that skyrocket currently, new nordic stories and identities and gaming. Questions addressed during the morning include: What is the contemporary story of the Nordic people in a globalized tech-driven world? How do new stories emerge and contribute in shaping and developing interaction between individuals, groups, communities and different demographics? How do students get access to these worlds and create their own stories? Meet persons who have aspired to redefine the norms, reimagine what creative work could or should be!
