Anders and Simon have been deep in Christmas lands for months already. Today is the premiere of "A Christmas Miracle", a 24 episode story in four languages, where Sami school children help Santa rescue Christmas with the help of AI.

There's been quite a few challenges along the way, but now it's finally here!

Among all the horrific news surrounding us right now, some good ones as well.

In a world that only grows more energy-dependent, while supply lines are being increasingly disrupted, we're glad to see the return of the Energy Week event in Vaasa, Finland, for key players in the field to be able to get together and discuss possible future solutions. We're happy that we've been given the opportunity to help the event, with graphics, opening titles and so on. See them in action 21-25.3!

We had the pleasure of handling the live streamed event for the Listiac project's (Linguistically Sensitive Teaching in All Classrooms) closing seminar a couple of weeks ago. We got to try out our new Canon C70 camera as well as our improved live streaming setup.

Congratulations to the Listiac project for wrapping up a successful multi-year project and strengthening language policies in education!

The event itself is still up at https://youtu.be/hzMMnpmpTo4 with an edited version to be added later.

Every little step helps, we believe. This year, we again compensate our fossile footprint via Go Climate Neutral. The gold standard project supported this year is a landfill gas recovery project in Chile, trapping methane gases and using them to create electricity.

For a greener and better future!

Let's not forget there's a world out there we need to look after when we're - at some point - finally over the COVID-19 pandemic. We're again choosing to compensate our footprint via GoClimateNeutral, this year in support of a wind park in the Caribbeans.
