This is the age of lifestyle. And that has turned our problems wicked. Human behaviour has become the prime focus of all production, design and politics. This is new to the liberal democracies. Demos Helsinki and Aalto University’s Department of Design invite you for an open lecture series. Any of the talks will help you forward in human-centric thinking and action. All lectures are roughly one hour of lenght. The open lectures are in english and a part of the Keynote-course for all new MA Design Students of Aalto University.
