Episode 20

The importance of arts and crafts in redesigning our exciting future, with visual artist and designer Janne Robberstad - Part 1

Why is creativity, arts and crafts so important for the future? How can we amplify these skills and use them to engage, inspire and learn?

In this episode I have the great pleasure to introduce you to Janne Robberstad. She is an assistant professor and PhD student at the Western Norway University.  She is also a teacher, a visual artist and designer, and a production manager of the Global Science Opera. 

Check out the Global Science Opera and mark their next show in your calendar! 

Janne is currently researching the connection between creativity and sustainability in a design-prosess, and this I think is so important going forward as we will have to redesign basically everything for a sustainable future.

You can have a look at some of Janne's work here.

Veslemøy Klavenes-Berge

Geophysicist by formal education, with a background within mobile satellite communication and the oil and gas industry. I did a 180 degree pivot in my career in 2016 and have since then focused all my energy and time to explore how we can have the optimal combination of the three pillars;
a good life - an interesting job - a healthy planet.
I have a strong sense of urgency when it comes to the huge challenges we are facing in the years to come, especially when it comes to climate change, but I strongly believe in the potential in people to step up and do the work when it is really needed.
That time is now.
