21st June 2023 at 11.00 UTC – DESIS Café hosted by Arctic Design Lab from University of Lapland in Rovaniemi, Finland.

DESIS Café is a virtual place where DESIS Labs can meet and talk about their activities, expectations, thoughts, research, projects, etc. It’s a place to reinforce connections within the community and exchange knowledge about good practices and difficulties of projects, and actions.

Our host’s message for this DESIS Café is:

“The University of Lapland’s Arctic Design Lab was established in 2015 in the Arctic Circle of Northern Finland. It is the northernmost laboratory on the DESIS lab network, focusing on a diverse and multicultural approach to art and design in northern regions. The lab is dedicated to finding creative solutions to meet the needs of various northern services. The University of Lapland is currently discussing the TRUST project in DESIS cafe, which focuses on online accessibility, ethical preservation, and restoration of cultural heritage material. The project utilizes educational methods and research to integrate the viewpoints of Indigenous groups into law and creates socially innovative engagement tools to promote knowledge among stakeholders. ”
