The pandemic caused many things to grow and surface. One of the better things that happened was that we were forced to stay put in
How do you handle issues that are born outside of your reach, have been going on since long before you were born, and spread out
Oleg Koefoed
Director, Co-founder, PhD, Action-Philosopher
Oleg is a transdisciplinary character that can sometimes be hard to follow, with a mind that is always on the lookout for new connections to get deeper into understanding how our species got into this mess and how to grow from it. But if you ask him to hang around with you or take you for an exploration of the world, your habits, or the nearest spot of urban nature, there is a chance you will come out changed forever.
Oleg serves on a regular basis as a guide, lecturer, facilitator, and action researcher for EU institutions, Baltic Sea regional partners, cultural institutions, universities, food start-ups, municipalities, and governments. But he is also always ready to take a talk or a deep dive with humans or other beings just because they need it.
