Events
The calendar below shows an overview of events and conferences that we have organized or participated in.
The MobileWorlds Workshops have taken place throughout 2024, in both Bergen and Porto. They are interactive workshops in which we explore how arts, and drawing maps, can help various individuals – children as well as adults – to connect to third cultures within them and surrounding them, and the potential this might have for creating new points for encounter with ‘others’ – other people, other ideas, other practices, concerning sustainable mobility and beyond. We have customized workshops per audience group (e.g. all-ages, families, planners, academics/conference). You can find out how to do your own Workshop here.
The Mobile Worlds workshops take a hands-on, creative approach to explore mobility practices through the lens of culture – based on a set of norms and values that we identify with, for instance based on nationality, region, or subgroup (e.g. environmentalist, academic, skater, etc.). They begin with an introspective, individual part (which can remain private), and then move on to group creations and discussions about various cultures coming together within individuals and between individuals and groups. The workshop uses drawing, collage, plasticine-shaping, and other such methods to stimulate out-of-the-box engagement with the topic. The workshops are adjusted for diverse audiences.
The Festival took place in September and October 2025 in Bergen, Online, and in Porto. The Festival is a platform for bringing together a broad MobileWorlds community, connecting arts and planning perspectives for a broad audience, showing the potential of what the MobileWorlds project has only begun to explore. Details on the Festival specifically are found here and tools for organizing your own MobileWorlds Festival can be found here.

Family Workshop – 15 June 2024 – afternoon
*free* *by direct invitation only*
What is your favourite mode of transport, and why? How would you like to travel to school or work if you could choose? This workshop takes a hands-on, creative approach to explore mobility practices through the lens of culture – based on a set of norms and values that we identify with, for instance based on nationality, region, or subgroup (e.g. environmentalist, academic, skater, etc.). It begins with a more introspective, individual/family part (which can remain private), and then moves on to a group creation and discussion about various cultures coming together within individuals and between individuals and groups. The workshop uses drawing, collage, plasticine, lego, and other such methods to stimulate out-of-the-box engagement with the topic. The workshop is part of a series of such events carried out for the Mobile Worlds project and adjusted for diverse age-groups and backgrounds. See https://mobileworlds.online for more information.
The workshop will be facilitated in English and Portuguese, but group discussions may also be had in any language you prefer. It will take place on 15 June from 14.30-17.30. Snacks, coffee, tea and juice will be provided.
This workshop is by direct invitation only. We look forward to welcoming you!
