DATA TOUR D’ITALIE PANEL
Panel guests: Federica Fragapane (IT), Michela Milano (IT), Iolanda Pensa (IT), Valentina Tanni (IT), Moderated by: Federico Bomba (IT)
How can data help us in better understanding environmental and social challenges? Data are not good or bad, they simply are.

But they do not speak for themselves: someone - or something - must present them in a shape so that they can produce new awareness.

The Lecture series notes humor as a human-specific value, especially for the current post-corona situation, which has rapidly shifted to digital society. To share various discourses surrounding humor as a language of empathy and communication, it consists of three days: "Day 1. Humor for Community'', "Day 2. Humor for Play", and "Day 3. Humor for Future Creativity''. Through the lectures of experts working in various fields such as cultural anthropology, psychology, games and art, we will discover how to turn the crisis into an opportunity and explore the value of humor as a possibility for the future.
