Teach Wednesday. Spend Thursday in Copenhagen.

Creative community with a current Human Collaboration and AI foresight cycle, September 2026–January 2027; earlier cycles include sound/song, learning and creative expression. Reeta is the foresight contact; Martin is COO/programming. Strong connector to practitioners across your interests.

Request a small exchange with a creative practitioner and technologist. How do shared future conversations become working prototypes? What would someone embedded in a creative community help its members build?

Current creative hub and cultural incubator, connecting informal learning, art, podcasts, film and technology. A September 2026 workshop combined Arduino and AI in interactive art. Enes leads The Lab; Sanna is managing director. Excellent for the social infrastructure of experimentation.

What lets someone try an odd creative idea before it becomes a business or a finished artwork? Ask to meet one current creator, and discuss the adult support and technical help that are actually missing.

IAC director. Lund University’s artistic research infrastructure in Malmö offers cross-disciplinary spaces and technical support. Current projects include new musical instruments and an augmented organ-vibraphone. Particularly good for seeing art and engineering being developed together.

Ask for one studio visit with an artist wrestling with an unfinished technical problem. What can be discovered by improvising and prototyping together, before anyone can write a specification?

Lisa researches libraries and democratic participation; Linda works on inclusive preparedness at LTH/Certec. Their 20 October Malmö conference examines crisis conversations with people with intellectual disabilities, and libraries’ role in preparedness. A direct continuation of the Estonia culture/defence questions.

When preparedness becomes an individual obligation, who is left out? How can libraries make it collective, accessible and grounded in everyday trust? The professional afternoon provides a live example.

Project leader for the first Malmö Möts democracy week, 12–18 June 2026, combining public discussion, culture, humour, live podcasts and youth. The closest local counterpart to Arvamusfestival; her background also includes Malmö Live and Eurovision organisation.

What actually makes a democracy festival welcoming to people who would never attend a political seminar? What did its organisers learn, and what continues through the year? Strong podcast subject for Lage.

Cognitive science professor whose educational-agent research includes children learning by teaching a digital companion. Her upcoming cognition conference presentation is critical of pupils outsourcing thinking to GenAI. A useful countervoice to AI Leap, tied directly to Spørrespeilet.

Show Oppgaveautomaten and Spørrespeilet. What would demonstrate that they increase perseverance, reasoning and later unaided performance? How should a voluntary club differ from school?

Two complementary public capacities at Lönngatan 30: Garaget lends tools and musical equipment and offers study visits; Arena 305 supplies rehearsal, recording, film, dance and podcast facilities for ages 15–25. The clearest local counterpart to the Estonia library-of-things and creator agenda.

Ask how confidence, peer learning and access work after equipment is supplied. At Arena, see young people’s work and ask what adults do when a project becomes ambitious or messy.

Central Lund youth hub for mainly ages 16–25, supporting self-directed projects, associations, entrepreneurship, production and youth influence. Its own framing says young people know what they want to do and adults coach them. A smaller, practical candidate worth taking seriously.

How much agenda-setting power do young people really have? Can someone bring an unusual project, recruit collaborators and change what the house provides? A possible exchange partner for AI-klubb1.

Historian of childhood, scouting, citizenship and knowledge. Newly started Children’s Rights and Participation in Swedish Civil Preparedness (August 2026–August 2029), alongside Barn i beredskap. Especially relevant to your teaching day and youth club.

How can young people be active contributors to preparedness without childhood being organised around fear? What distinguishes rights and participation from simply mobilising the young?

Interaction-design professor with fine-arts background, initiator of Malmö Living Labs, working across civic organisations, public institutions and cultural practice. His profile includes The Forbidden Music.

How do you stay with an organisation’s half-formed need until you discover what is worth building? An excellent thinking partner on participatory prototyping; could join Pille or David in one meeting.

Professor connecting dance, philosophy, responsive technology and somatic archives, with 2026 work on AI-inflected immersive dance.

What does an artist discover when a technologist can improvise alongside them? What should be sensed, remembered or left unrecorded? Stronger if connected to an actual experiment.

Malmö researcher working on collective listening and sustainable city life with NGBG, with participatory experience involving prisons, asylum and language learners. NGBG’s Kulturljudzon protects coexistence of music, making and industry.

How does shared music-making build agency and trust? Walk Sofielund with someone involved and discuss what a city must protect so informal culture can survive. Closest Telliskivi-style enquiry.

Library of censored literature; Speakers Corner was developed with young people aged 15–25. A particularly concrete meeting about culture as a practice of freedom.

How do reading, performance and creative expression become things young people use to exercise freedom? Strong continuity with the Singing Revolution and Refling Hagen discussion.

Emeritus cognitive-science professor, active in conceptual spaces, understanding and AI. His book Kan AI tänka? supplies a sceptical creativity/cognition perspective.

Which external tools enlarge human conceptual creativity, and which merely supply more combinations? A good continuation of the Jaan Aru line from your original Estonia research.

Artist and digital-cultures/ethnology researcher working on technology, imagination and postindustrial environments.

Compare Tallinn and Malmö: when does technological infrastructure enable imagination, and when do stories about innovation start determining what people can imagine?

University makerspace with students and visitors; VentureLab now operates within X-Lab. Good working-environment visit around the university day.

Meet a student maker as well as staff. What turns machines into a community where people cross disciplines and dare to begin?

Youth-designed space for ages 14–30 with studio, blackbox, workshop and self-organised events. A convenient addition to the preparedness conference’s library visit.

What does ‘by young people’ mean in budgeting and decisions? Could a library host a youth-led AI studio as public cultural infrastructure?

School makerspace using Arduino, Raspberry Pi and ESP32; equipment is described as evolving with makers’ needs and interests.

A productive school/VIVITA comparison: how far can learner interests shape projects within a curriculum? Ask to see student work.

Architect-founders of an AI design platform, growing from a tool for their own practice. A concrete professional-creativity startup rather than a generic AI business.

Working demo: which judgement can be encoded, and when do additional design options help or overwhelm an architect?

Design and engineering studio with hardware/software co-creation; projects include music devices, ClockClock and generative creativity.

Ask to meet a designer/engineer pair doing exploratory prototyping. What can a small cultural organisation borrow from this collaboration model?

Tech coach and CEO, respectively, at the incubator; active AI Startup Network through December 2026. Most useful as connectors.

Request two relevant founders for a lunch, ideally creative AI or youth/learning. Choose the actual people before allocating a large block of the day.

Lab managers studying cognitive development, humanoid robots, trust and human–robot interaction.

What does building a body teach us about intelligence and trust that a chatbot cannot? Good if you want a surprising physical demonstration.

Research leader connecting law, institutions, trust, human–AI relations and accountability.

What creates justified trust in public-sector AI, and what happens to preparedness when institutions depend on opaque external systems? Strong digital-state follow-up.

European network of independent cultural centres, particularly grassroots and repurposed industrial spaces. A useful Estonia-to-Europe connector.

Ask for the colleague working with young collectives/Baltic partners: how can independent culture remain civic infrastructure under financial and political pressure?

Operators of Bibliotek i beredskap, autumn 2026–spring 2027, bringing mental resilience, media literacy and AI into public libraries.

What can an ordinary library do now to preserve everyday public trust? Ask for the practitioner view and something Hamar could adapt.

Art-history professor researching art’s transformative potential and teaching Arts, Aesthetics and Existential Resilience.

How can cultural experience strengthen people’s capacity to live with uncertainty? A conceptual counterpart to Lage’s performance-based preparedness work.

Social enterprise joining craft, catering, paid work and neighbourhood belonging. A useful grounded contrast with venture-backed entrepreneurship.

What does innovation look like when formal qualifications and capital are scarce, but skills and community are abundant?

Former workshops turned into civic innovation hub, combining assemblies, Democracy Fitness, neighbourhood work and a citizen bakery.

How do democratic commons sustain themselves, and how does festival energy become everyday participation? Worth a dedicated excursion only with a strong hosted meeting.

Museum of artistic process and public art: unusually good for your interest in how ideas become real. Annie is current director; Emil curates Public Domain. A strong visit even without an arranged meeting.

Look at sketches, discarded possibilities and the infrastructure behind public commissions. On Thursday choose the Public Domain curator tour or FN och konsten; both start 17:30.

City-run youth activity house on Stortorget with two H22-LAB rooms and a 360° film room for building virtual worlds.

What do young people make here when no one sets the brief?

Volunteer makerspace (3D printing, electronics, wood). Open Wednesdays 18–20, the evening after the course.

Who comes, and what keeps them coming?

Municipal youth meeting place for theatre, art and tech projects.

Could a Skaran group run one of the SABN02 workshop formats?

Co-hosted the Nordic stage at Arvamusfestival in Paide, including the session 'Culture and Defence: Different Tools, Same Purpose?', and ran 'Kultur som en del af Danmarks totalforsvar' at Kulturmødet 2026. Director Camilla Mordhorst.

Who spoke in Paide, and is anyone in Denmark building culture into total defence in practice?
