November Evening Panel Discussion

Juha Itkonen is one of the top names among the new generation of Finnish authors He published his first novel in 2003 and has been awarded and has won many awards since that. His latest book Hetken hohtava valo is kind of a chronicle telling story of few generations, their relationships and how the time and technology changes during the story.

I am not that big fan of Itkonen's books, but was excited about going to listen the panel discussion held at Kom Ravintola. Tonight's third Valoklubi handled the issue of "What is progression" with really interesting guests: Member Of Parliament Pekka Haavisto, Doctor Of Political Science Pilvi Torsti and business man and trainer Jari Sarasvuo. And the latter managed to get on headlines on yellow press by rushing away from TV show in order to make it on time for this free event (and he arrived a little bit late).



 

Inspring discussion with multiple themes from the end of the world to aspiring hope for the future, equality, civilization, religion, tolerance, technology and encounters. I must say that I really admire Pekka Haavisto's viewpoints and his charming character.
