WARUM NICHT!
Zur Gesprächsreihe „Warum nicht!“ laden wir interessante Persönlichkeiten ins TOKONOMA Apartment ein, um etwas über ihren Lebenslauf, ausgefallene Konzepte, über Blauäugigkeit, Multitasking oder das Scheitern zu erfahren. Wir sprechen mit Menschen, die sich an einem Punkt in ihrem Leben gesagt haben: “Warum nicht!”. Die etwas Neues begonnen haben, vorhandene Strukturen hinterfragt und verändert haben, ihr ursprüngliches Metier gewechselt haben oder sich gar nicht erst auf eine Disziplin festnageln ließen.

WHY NOT!
For our “Why Not!” series of talks, we invite fascinating personalities to TOKONOMA to learn about their life stories, unconventional concepts, naivety, multitasking, or failure. We speak with people who, at some point in their lives, said to themselves: “Why not!” People who started something new, questioned and changed existing structures, switched their original field, or refused to be pigeonholed into a single discipline in the first place.
