Next meeting: 6 Feb 2025
Meeting 09 Jan 2025
Today, we stayed in the New Year’s mood talking about how it’s celebrated by people from different cultures, other than the Europeans’ or (if you wish) Westerners’ one. Persians, Chinese, Hindus, Jews for example – they all have their own way of welcoming New Year, which is not quite what we can see happening in the streets of Poland, France or Spain. Then, we chit-chatted about technologies poised to revolutionise our lives in 2025, like brain-computers interfaces, personalised medicine or autonomous vehicles.

- A video: How different cultures celebrate the New Year by Global News
