For those of you are not sure what Pecha Kucha is then have a look at the presentations from our second event which are now online http://www.pecha-kucha.org/night/derby/ and have have been viewed by 1,000's of people across the world.
PechaKucha is an idea born in Japan, where creative people get to talk about something that makes them tick or inspires them. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace. PechaKucha nights are ran across 423 cities across the globe.
Presenters for our next event are
Peter Gibbon | Cuba -50 years on | Ex-teacher and member of 'Derbyshire Cuba Network'
Ben Spiller | Challenging perceived barriers, meeting in the middle and finding common ground | Artist, Director, Educator, Producer, Thinker and Writer
