Talk: PechaKucha 21 – Making Connections

BUY TICKETS

Welcome to our first PechaKucha of 2018! This time we’re looking at the them of ‘making connections’ and have a variety of speakers all taking the PechaKucha challenge: 20 images, 20 seconds per image, no stopping. We’ll hear about building bridges, mentoring, community engagement, beards, randomly distributed fiction and oxytocin. And we’ll also be making origami frogs to race.

This time we have 10 speakers instead of eight. We’re experimenting… Let us know what you think.

We’ll be at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation, the centre celebrating the author of multiple works including A Clockwork Orange. We’re really looking forward to presenting in their beautiful space!
