Inspired by the constitutional exercise in Iceland, perhaps we can have a process to draft a value charter statement for Aalto?

What is admirable about the Icelandic initiative?

“This process involved an incredibly intelligent mix between grassroots, citizen-driven input, expert-crafting direction, and an actual deliberative process for drafting the constitution that wasn’t controlled by insiders.”
- Interview with Lawrence Lessig

In other news, here’s some values I’d like to promote

Optimism and entrepreneurial spirit.
Engagement with society and the world.
Well-rounded cosmopolitan outlook.
Pro-social attitudes, friendship.
Polymathy, inter-disciplinary integration.
Dialogue, willingness to depolarise.
Kindness, patience, a noble heart.
