    • Unconference speaker: Esh Loh, Founder of Yoga Sphere Workshop: Can Our Consciousness Keep Up With Our Technology? Why should we attend your workshop? Beneath our climate, social and technological crises may lie a deeper one, a crisis of attention and consciousness. AI can process information for us, but it cannot decide what deserves our attention or become present on our behalf. In this workshop, we explore a collective resonance experience and an invitation to ask a defining question of the AI era: Can we become more conscious, and what does it mean to be human? What are you curious about in the other talks/workshops that you want to explore? I’m especially curious about how other speakers are approaching the human side of AI, not just what it can automate, but what it asks of us. Ava de Pol’s talk on AI and the future of work in customer experience looks particularly interesting to me, since customer experience is ultimately about presence and connection, the same territory my workshop explores from an embodied angle. I’d love to see where the more strategic, business focused conversations meet the deeper questions about attention, meaning and what stays uniquely human as our tools get smarter. Welcome to Berghs Unconference:AI in Berlin, get your ticket and join us on October 7th. Ticket link in bio!
    • Unconference speaker: @mikejohnotto Creative Director, Brand Consultant and visual Artist. Talk: Narrative Experiences in the Age of AI. How Art- and culture-driven creativity can work also with AI. Why should we come and listen to your talk? Because we are entering a moment where creating images has never been easier, but creating images that actually stay with us is becoming harder. My talk looks at the power of the image in the age of AI, and at how we can build narrative experiences that create emotion, curiosity and memory rather than simply more content. I’ll share how I combine strategic thinking, visual storytelling and artistic practice to create worlds people want to enter, explore and remember. What are you curious about in the other talks/workshops that you want to explore? I’m curious about how others are responding to the same fundamental shift from very different perspectives. What happens to creativity when tools, processes and possibilities change this quickly? I’m especially interested in where people see new forms of authorship interaction and storytelling emerging and what might become possible when we stop treating AI simply as a production tool. For me one of the most interesting shifts is how it allows us to explore more possibilities much earlier in a project compare different directions quickly and make more informed creative choices before committing to one path.

    • Meet @erikssonq. She attended @tibblegymnasiumcampustaby before starting at Berghs. Below she shares her thoughts on the Berghs Bachelor Program: ◼ What made you choose to take the Berghs Bachelor Program? I wanted to do something creative and challenge myself in a new way. I was drawn to the hands-on approach, as traditional education has never really been the best fit for me. I also wanted the opportunity to experience a new culture and step outside of my comfort zone. ◼ What were you most nervous about before starting – and how did that turn out? I was nervous about meeting new people, entering a completely new creative environment, and speaking English every day. Creativity can feel very personal, so sharing ideas with others felt a little intimidating at first. However, I quickly realized how supportive and welcoming everyone was, which made it much easier to feel comfortable and confident. ◼ How has your confidence changed since you did the Bachelor Program? My confidence has grown tremendously. Being part of such a welcoming and supportive environment helped me become more comfortable sharing my ideas and trusting my creative abilities. I’ve also had the chance to meet so many inspiring and talented people, which has encouraged me to believe in myself and what I can contribute. ◼ What’s something that has surprised you about studying here? I’ve been surprised by how fun learning can be when it’s done in a proactive and hands-on way. Working on real projects and learning by doing has made the experience much more engaging than I expected. ◼ Which Partner School and degree have you chosen and why? I have chosen the Bachelor of Arts in Design at @domusacademy in Milan. I was drawn to the opportunity to continue studying in a highly creative environment, surrounded by people who are passionate about design and innovation. Milan is such an inspiring city, and it feels like the perfect place to continue developing both creatively and personally.

    • Meet @charlotte_carlesgb who attended the Advanced Portfolio Program during an exchange semester within her program with her home university in France 🇫🇷, @efap_officiel. Below she shares her thoughts on Berghs’ Advanced Portfolio Program: ◼ Can you share a little bit about your background and why you applied for the Advanced Program? I applied for the Advanced Program through my school, EFAP, which gave me the opportunity to spend an exchange semester abroad as part of my final year. I am currently in my fifth year, completing a Master’s degree in Advertising Creation and Strategy. When I discovered this program, I was immediately drawn to it because it perfectly complements my studies and my passion for creative  thinking in the advertising field.  ◼ What’s been the most valuable thing you’ve learned so far at Berghs? The most valuable thing I’ve gained from this program is confidence, both in myself and in my work. Before Berghs, I tended to play it safe creatively. This program pushed me to take more risks, step out of my comfort zone, and truly stand behind my ideas. It also taught me how to elevate my work, look at it more critically, and not settle for the first good idea. That shift in mindset has been the biggest transformation for me. ◼ How does studying communication in Sweden different from studying in your country of origin? Studying in Sweden has been quite different from my experience at EFAP in France. In France, the academic system tends to be more structured and framework-driven, there is a clear way to do things, and the focus is often on delivering the right answer. At Berghs, the approach is completely different. There is much more freedom given to students, and failure is not something to be afraid of, it is actually encouraged as part of the learning process. If you take a risk and it doesn’t work, that’s okay, because that’s how you grow creatively. That mindset was quite new to me and honestly very refreshing. It has pushed me to experiment more, to try things I wouldn’t have dared to do before, and to see my creative process as something evolving rather than something that needs to be perfect from the start.
