May 7, from 19:00

As part of the Nor/ma Storytelling Nights, we’re launching a new multi-session talk series exploring how much innovation, cultural influence, and everyday convenience we owe to Scandinavian ingenuity.

From inventions we now can’t live without, to gastronomy and traces in urban history, we’ll set off on a journey to discover: what have the Scandinavians really given us?

First session: The North in Our Everyday Lives

Skis, SMS, crime fiction, puzzles, even systems of scientific classification — a surprising number of things have made their way into our daily lives from Scandinavia. But what exactly are they, and how did they become such a natural part of the way we live?

We’ll explore these questions with Bence Patat, through stories, examples, and cultural insights.

Coming up in the series:

– Scandinavian spices and pastries — from cinnamon to bulle
– The connection between Scandinavians and Budapest — from Viking bodyguards to Wallenberg

Because the North is closer than we think.

The event is free to attend, but if you’d like to secure a seat at one of the front tables, you can choose:
