Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking evening as we explore the intersection of technology, environment, and global equality.

"Musical Chairs as Commons: The Resource Challenge" Evgenia Tsianou, Science Communicator at Paul Scherrer Institut & Founder DISSCO

A workshop to playfully experience the concepts of commons and natural resources. We play the famous game ‘musical chairs’, similar to the one played at a kid’s party, where everyone competes for a seat when the music stops. In our daily lives, we compete for vital goods such as water and energy. Climate change urges us to collaborate and find solutions. How can we approach this ‘game’ differently?
