Rapidly changing world will require skillset of being curious, iteratively asking questions, and exploring it by hands-on experience, rather than finding a single answer to defined questions. When education is no longer about teaching knowledge at school, what should people learn through education, from who, and how? Educators, artists, and cultural institutes, will debate about the future of schools and education, covering topics such as citizen science, STEAM programs, and art thinking.

The more AI technologies are integrated into products and services, the more invisible it becomes. Adoptions of AI in social and political systems have potential risks of implanting biases, overstepping privacies, monitoring and manipulating behavior, even involuntarily. Artists in “Dappi” square will discuss how we can defend ourselves from being imprisoned in the box of power and authority.
