What’s stopping you from making your coolest ideas happen? What can improve teach you about innovation, team work or failure? What happens in our mind when we are afraid of failing – or once we think we failed?

With the lead of Jani Turku from IMPROVment, a bunch of students from the multidisciplinary International Design Business Management program spent an inspiring evening at Urban Mill on January 15 discussing and experiencing the fear of failure by mechanisms of improvisation and creativity It was an evening with a lot of laughing, great discussions and relaxed atmosphere!

Most participants had not been at Urban Mill before and were excited to see the space, too.
