Moncton — the hometown of your humble blog writer — will be taking part in our Global Cities Week, with its PechaKucha Night Vol. 4. The event is planned for February 23 at Café Aberdeen, and you’ll find more details on the event page, as well as PKN Moncton’s Facebook page. The poster was designed by Julie Forgues, and there are four colored version, each based on the Global Cities Week banners we made available to all our organizers.
We love catching PechaKucha coverage around the world, and here’s a sampling of a few recent articles we spotted on the web.
“An Evening of Civil Creativity” (Here NB) — PKN Moncton
“‘I think we have a lot of creative people in Moncton. We might not realize how many we have, and a lot of the creative people might feel isolated,’ Goguen said. ‘Pecha Kucha is to get people to feel good about the people in their city.’”
“PechaKucha Hits Pittsburgh” (Morning Sun) — PKN Pittsburgh
“PowerPoint presentations are boring and bland, and human brains don’t retain the information they discuss well. But by making presentations visually stimulating, they can become interesting and engaging. That’s the message the creators of Pecha Kucha want to bring to millions of people worldwide, and what a growing number Pittsburg State University faculty, students and community members are sharing in increasing numbers.”
“PechaKucha a Simmering Saucepan of Food, Art and Ideas” (Vancouver Observer) — PKN Vancouver
“‘There’s a lot of young, creative people who are frustrated with the larger corporate system that seems to dominate the world,’ he mused. ‘(PechaKucha)’s a forum where people can come together and share ideas.’”
Moncton will be hosting its second PechaKucha Night later this week, with the event set to happen on September 16 at Café Aberdeen. The poster was designed by Julie Forgues, who presented at a PKN here in Tokyo a few months ago.
