\u201cThis is one of the absolutely best weeks for those of us who work at the Nobel Prize Museum. Of course we want to share our joy that new laureates are being honoured for their contributions towards the greatest benefit of humankind. There will be many exciting activities all over the city, where people can celebrate and learn more about science, literature and efforts to achieve a more peaceful world,\u201d says Erika Lanner, Director of the Nobel Prize Museum.<\/p>\n
The programme is bursting with both digital and physical activities. There will be a Crash Course on the scientific Nobel Prizes. Film director Bj\u00f6rn Runge and August Prize-winning author Karin Bojs will participate in a panel discussion on how the Nobel Prize continuously inspires cultural expressions. Nobel Calling also includes lectures on such topics as poetic metre and the human sense of smell. It will also be possible to meet nurses who have worked for the Red Cross (recipient of multiple Nobel Peace Prizes) and have been awarded medals for their contributions at various front lines around the world, and to visit scientific research labs. On each day that new laureates are selected, the Nobel Prize Museum will also live stream the announcement from the prize awarding institution. Most activities are in Swedish, but some are in English; see the full Nobel Calling programme for details.<\/p>\n
Creativity is an attribute that Nobel Prize laureates often cite as crucial to achieving success. Nobel Calling Stockholm will celebrate creativity with Open Stage events on Sergels torg \u2013 a public square in central Stockholm. Circus, music and poetry will be featured on three stages located on the square. Passers-by can also sit down and listen to earlier Nobel Prize laureates. The programme was designed by theatre director and producer Johan Bark. The stages were designed by Daniel Bystr\u00f6m and Fabian Lundberg, who are known for several earlier projects aimed at creating new urban meeting places. For example they have developed various modular kits which include seating and can be installed on Swedish streets and parking places. Their Sergels torg stages are made of Swedish wood and are painted in different colours.<\/p>\n
