NODUS Talks: Schools as Sustainability Communities

Participatory design researcher Goeun Kuu-Park (Aalto University) and craft science lecturer Pasi Pennanen (University of Helsinki) discuss the role of schools and education in the sustainability transition. Both examine through their own experience how hands-on making and the development of craft skills can deepen understanding of sustainability challenges and support sustainable lifestyles.

The event is part of the NODUS Talks discussion series, where academic and practical expertise meet around the same theme. Each speaker first presents their own contribution, after which the discussion continues based on audience questions.
