The rational goal is to carry out a number of days with different items on the programme where the common denominator is design of the future and this year’s overall theme sustaina ble design, were sustainable is not just environmental aspect although that is a large part of the issue. The visionary goal is to inject the particip ants with thoughts and make them ponder, question, reflect, be worried and pleased about what design really is all about and how it should be handled and used to give people a better life in a more durable society. \n \nThe t ruth is, there is none \nWe don’t have the truths. The question is, does an yone? On the other hand there are plenty of questions and possibly some ans wers.

Hop efully this will eventually lead to action. \n \nAmong others Jennifer Leon ard, Eero Koivisto, Kristina Dryza, Brent Richards and Satyendra Pakhale wi ll participate.
