In August 2019, the Aalto ARTS community embarked on a journey of self-organised, collective reflection. Our ongoing mission is to learn from each other, gather insights and release the innate creativity and leadership in us all.

Our work remains in progress, and we will re-evaluate these findings on a regular basis.
