What is Hakuna Matata Night?
Hakuna Matata Night is a space for social entrepreneurs or socially-minded individuals to meet, network and show their work in public. The presentations are very solution-oriented. Speakers present their solutions to existing social and/or environmental problems. These solutions can either be current work, projects or simply ideas.
So as to avoid boredom, each presenter is allowed a maximum of 20 images (Yes, I mean images as in pictures, diagrams, etc. NO bullet points allowed). The challenge here is for each speaker to translate their stories into visual and grapical presentations. Each image would only be shown for 20 seconds - giving a total of 6 minutes and 40 seconds for each presentation. This keeps presentations short, interesting and allows more speakers to participate.
Hakuna Matatais actually a Swahili phrase that means “there are no worries here” or “no problem”. Hakuna Matata Night is a forum that is meant to inspire with solutions and not depress with problems. It is meant for us to showcase our ideas and efforts to change the world in a more realistic and practical way. We hope the event can inspire more parties as such, and spread virally across the globe. If you would like to set up your own Hakuna Matata Night, please contact us.
Hakuna Matata Night was designed by S. Dev Appanah and Sunit Shrestha (trnlab.org). The event was inspired by the recent trend of unconferences like Pecha Kucha Night, barcamp, Hack Day, etc.
We would like to thank the trnlab team for their support in setting up Hakuna Matata Night. The team members include Ton, Pai, & Chuang.
