Connecting curious minds — all around the world
We’re delighted to announce the speakers for our first CIID Connect of 2026!
Online - 27th January - 6:00 pm CET
CIID Connect is a monthly online event series bringing people together around ideas and conversations that shape the future of design for positive impact. Each session features designers, researchers, educators, technologists, artists and change-makers sharing their work, experiences and provocations.
For our first session of the year, we welcome:Micol Galeotti and Rina Shumylo - Interaction Design Programme (IDP) 2018 alumni and Senior Interactive Play Designers at The LEGO Group. They will talk about their journey together from CIID students to designers on one of the most secret projects Billund has seen in the last 50 years.
They are joined by Monika Seyfried, Interaction Designer and Founder of Grow Your Own Cloud (https://growyourown.cloud/). Monika works across science, ethics and futures, exploring how living systems and the natural world can help us imagine new perspectives on technology and ecosystems.
Rooted in curiosity, experimentation and life-long learning, CIID Connect is a space for dialogue and exchange. These events are open to all - students, professionals, alumni, educators and anyone curious to join an ongoing global conversation shaped by diverse voices and perspectives.
