KaosPilot A-Z 2 review relay race During 2007, 8 persons with no direct relation to the KaosPilots will read and comment passages of KaosPilot A-Z 2 in our new relay race – to give their opinion about the KaosPilot universe. The first runner is Kasper Bech Holten, the director of The Royal Danish Opera House, who proofread the book. “…I would warmly recommend anyone with a curious spirit and trying to navigate a world that is changing more rapidly all the time, to pick up this book. If only because of its essential positive, important and hopeful energy that shines through every page of the book and fosters a belief and will to change the world, to have a vision and carry it out in real life. To “change the game”, as they say…”

KaosPilot International in a 180 cm x 180 cm acrylic see-through sphere
is it possible? Is it possible to squeeze down KaosPilot International in a 180 x 180 cm acrylic see-through sphere? We cannot say, but we now have the opportunity to make an attempt, when INDEX: displays the educational design of KaosPilot International at the INDEX: AWARD EXHIBITION The exhibition presents the top nominated designs for the INDEX: AWARD 2007, and is taking place at Kongens Nytorv square in central Copenhagen between August 17 and September 24, 2007. Check out www.kaospilot.dk & www.indexaward.dk to find more information about the nomination and the design award.
Talking of spring Spring has brought about a new bird amongst us: the new principal, Jytte Vikkelsoe, has had her first day at the office, and, indeed, has tread the broads performing at Aarhus City Hall. Welcome to the station, Jytte, looking forward to work with you and to get to know you better.

Physical sustainability Having sustainability on top of agenda, we decided to take up the physical sustainability of KaosPilot staff, students and friends. – To make the staff last longer, for the students to get better marks, feel the air, watch the trees and meet with sustainability outside the class rooms. Therefore, we’re taking part in another yet different kind of relay race: the Aarhus 1900 Relay Race (www.aarhus1900.dk), a 10 kilometer relay race for runners taking place on April 22, 2007 at the beautiful (and hilly!) Marselisborg forests south of Aarhus. After the race, we’ll meet for a small picnic to repair the physical exertions.
