Yesterday a big networking event was organised at L.A.P., together with the Dutch Consulate, Stimuleringsfonds and Het Nieuwe Instituut. We welcomed a lot of designers, journalists and industry professionals and... our minister of Education, Culture and Science Jet Bussemaker. She spoke to the audience and showed pride in the creative industry.
EMMA radio has published her first show! Listen to the first episode on Facebook and hear Luc van Hoeckel explain why he decided not to go to Milan although his Single Spark project was selected by the curators. And hear Dave Hakken's take on Milan and how his projects Phone Bloks and Precious Plastic fit in. Yesterday EMMA's reporters actually got to interview Jet Bussemaker, so stay tuned and don't forget to listen to tomorrow's episode of EMMA in Milan.
Tomorrow we will kick off with the first breakfast session: Educating the Self. With Tonny Holtrust, Jurgen Bey, Eugenie delaRiviere and Jan Pieter Kaptein. If you are in Milan now, take your morning coffee and croissant in L.A.P. and nourish your mind at the same time!
