Marina participates at ‘a better world by design’, Providence, Rhode Island USA
One of the best experiences in 2014 was to participate in the ‘a better world by design’ event in Providence, Rhode Island USA. Pierie, one of the wonderful organizers of this event wrote this in her thank-you-letter: “The (3) workshops were incredible – collaborative and engaging and fascinating and your talk tied together all the ideas in a beautiful way.”
It was so lovely to work with all these super enthusiastic people and I would like to thank Matthijs Vertooren and Jesse Asjes for all their help and support during these lovely days in Providence USA!
