Hi there, you!
Yes, I’m talking to you. Why? Because you are reading this newsletter, and that's proof enough of your curiosity. But let's take it a step further. Imagine a place where your questions are met with real-life answers. Not from Siri, or Alexa, but from actual, interesting and real human beings. Picture this in a cozy bar in Leuven, your favorite drink in hand. Uhu, sounds intriguing, right? Welcome to the world of our Human Library on March 19! Registrations start 12 February, next Monday!
?? ?? Keep following and reading this newsletter (and forward it to someone that you like and should stay in the l??p!) as I'll keep you updated here on additional news and cool highlights on our program!
Human Library what?!
A Human Library is like your usual library, but with a twist. Instead of borrowing books, you borrow conversations with people who have unique stories and experiences. From tech enthusiasts to futurists, you can ask them anything – yes, even the quirky questions you've been holding back! How can aging be slowed down? Will we 3D print everything in the future? How can AI cause social inequality? And what is the future of sex? You can ask it all! It’s an experience where every conversation opens a new chapter of knowledge!
Meet some of our 'Human Books'
Marc Van Ranst — What impact will climate change have on the spread of viral diseases?
Nancy Vermeulen — Will we all become space travelers in the future?
Paul De Grauwe — What’s the future of money in a digital age?
Sofie Lenaerts — What can the mountains teach us, & is there such a thing as ‘the right mindset’?
领英推荐
Laurens Naudts — Is it true that algorithms have caused unintended discrimination?
Séverine Vermeire — Can better gut health truly boost my overall wellbeing?
