Science goes Kapakka. This year’s AgK Science Series look into culture and well-being. Links between culture, well-being, love, equality, happiness and aging are under discussion.
Spend an interesting evening listening to experts and asking them tricky questions. These four panel debates are held in the restaurant LeBonk and they are headed by journalist JP Pulkkinen. You can also follow the discussions online: http://www.aka.fi/fi/T/Tiedetapahtumat/Tiede-on-Taidetta/
