TALKS
PROGRAM
Hvilken rolle spiller de danske medier i at forme overgangen mod et mere ansvarligt og fremtidsbevidst samfund?
I takt med at offentlighedens tillid, opmærksomhed og fortællinger ændrer sig hurtigt, får medieplatforme stadig større indflydelse på, hvordan vi forstår kriser, handling og forandring.
Denne samtale samler stemmer fra etablerede danske medier til en diskussion om journalistik, ansvar og fortællingens kraft i arbejdet med at forme fremtiden.
Panelists: Kristine Korsgaard (Altinget), Carsten Terp (Impact Insider), Sophie Rytter Skjoldager (Verdens Bedste Nyheder), Rasmus Nielsen (TV Glad / Moderator)

How has fishing culture evolved — and how are new generations carrying forward traditions of local, responsible fishing?
This conversation brings together voices from the infrastructure of sustainable fishing and Sydhavnen’s local community in a dialogue about the connection between past and present fishing practices. Through stories, lived experiences, and perspectives from younger generations, the panel explores how traditional knowledge, respect for the sea, and local fishing cultures can inspire more sustainable ways of producing and sharing food today. The discussion highlights why supporting local fishermen and responsible fishing practices remains essential for the future of the city, our communities, and our food systems.
Panelists: Anna Borg (Annas Fiskekasser), David Lange (Foreningen for Skånsomt Kystfiskeri), Christine Hebert (SquidInk / Moderator)
What do an avalanche and techno have in common?
Our musical taste, our reaction to heavy street traffic, and our ability to fall in love with someone’s voice. What if those features react to the same ancient alarm systems in our brain? And if this decided, in a split second, whether to alert us or delight us?

Can a needle, a thread, a leftover material-or the way we build an event—be a political act?
This panel discussion explores how craft can be used as a tool for activism and systemic change. In a world shaped by mass production, overconsumption and short product lifespans, repairing, reusing, creating slowly and sharing craft knowledge can become forms of resistance.
The panel brings together practitioners from different fields for a grounded and critical conversation about craft as material, method, storytelling and activism.
Panelists: Maya Høy (Hedestrik), Arendae Ekegren Baggesen (SMALLrevolution), Bita Elise Tahmasbyrad Hansen (TrashGirls8000), Susanna Fahlen (SUMI Creative Studio / Circular Event Lab / NusNus Agency / Moderator)

How can festivals create stronger communities, greater diversity, climate awareness, and real social impact.
Festivals today are more than music and entertainment — they are cultural platforms with the power to shape behavior, communities, and public conversations. In this panel, festival organizers and industry experts come together to discuss responsibility, representation, and accessibility. They also explore how festivals can create meaningful social and environmental impact while still maintaining energy, creativity, and cultural relevance. We dive into our own blind angles and share knowledge from different industries that contribute to the Danish festival scene in multiple ways.
