A big thank you to everyone who joined us last week for the symposium ‘Tempers and Temperatures: The Rising Heat of Digital Ecologies’. It was an inspiring and thought-provoking day dedicated to exploring climate change disinformation and its impact on democracy and public trust.

We are especially grateful to our speakers Gabriele Colombo, Mijke van der Drift, Sophie Dyer, Joey Grostern, Jennie King, Sabine Niederer, and Sorab Roustayar for sharing their expertise, insights, and critical perspectives. Their contributions sparked meaningful discussions about how misinformation shapes public debate, influences policy, and affects the way societies respond to climate challenges. The first session explored how climate narratives are shaped by power, ethics, and disinformation, while the second session focused on how climate data enters the public domain through journalism, media, and artificial intelligence. The final session examined how to foster resilience and cultivate shared imaginaries for climate action.

We value the participation of everyone who joined the discussions, asked questions, and contributed throughout the day. Your engagement made the symposium a vibrant space for exchange and reflection. A heartfelt thank you also to the Erasmus+ partners from Barcelona, London, Reykjavík, Sarajevo, Tallinn and Vilnius, and to all our brilliant NLN students, whose dedication made this event possible.

THREE WEEKS LEFT TO APPLY! 🧡

Are you interested in joining the MA Non Linear Narrative from September 2026? Make sure to submit your application by 2nd March to be reviewed as a priority!

Non Linear Narrative is a two-year master’s programme that merges investigative methods of journalism and forensics with processing technologies of computer science and visual arts into a contemporary progressive design approach: non-linear storytelling.

It takes the entanglement of relations in the global information society as a starting point, in order to identify and interrogate complex socio-political issues and communicate them to a broad audience. The programme repositions the graphic design discipline in the changing professional landscape and extends it with new responsibilities towards society.

You can find more info about what you need to do to apply via our website (link in bio). Please contact us by email if you have any questions!

A walk with the new students of Non Linear Narrative #KABK led us to 1646, one of the most interesting cultural spaces in The Hague. Their exhibitions are always impressive, with attention to detail and total transformation of the space.
But I have to say the students here took it to the next level posing for these pictures!
