SESSION 1: It’s about belonging: Supporting Migrants Through Language Learning

Ralf Chille (BABBEL)

Migrants in Germany face unique hurdles: balancing daily life with language learning, and overcoming barriers from varied educational backgrounds. Traditional programs often don’t fit these realities. At Babbel’s upcoming masterclass, we’ll work together to explore ways to seamlessly integrate language learning into busy lives and design approaches that meet learners where they are. Join us to share your perspective and help shape a more inclusive path forward.

SESSION 2: Keep. Stop. Start. Designing Europe’s Future

Mads Quistgaard (URGENT.AGENCY)

The future of Europe won’t just happen—it will be designed. This workshop is a call to rethink Europe’s role on the world stage—defense, trade, culture, and identity—through fresh eyes. Together, we’ll transform challenges into opportunities and use design as a tool to imagine, create, and claim the Europe we want.

SESSION 3: Crafting Utopia: Co-create the future by turning signals into scenarios

Hanna Norlin (HYPERSCAPES)

The future is not predetermined; it’s our shared creation. In this masterclass, you’ll learn how to harness today’s signals of change and turn them into building blocks for tomorrow. Together, we’ll explore how speculative design and futures thinking can transform emerging trends into tangible scenarios and prototypes that accelerate a brighter world. You’ll leave with practical tools for turning imagination into methods for shaping the futures we want.
