The speakers of the Arctic Design seminar present their definition on Arctic Design on a specific viewpoint such as service design and wellbeing by Professor Satu Miettinen and sustainability by Professor Michael Hardt. Sustainability is also brought up in the presentation of Professor Anne Marchand, who presents design as a mean of empowerment and sustainable development among aboriginal communities in Quebec, Canada. We will also hear from Tuija Seipell what the million readers of The Cool Hunter expect from arctic design!
