In our common language, storm is defined as "a violent disturbance of the atmosphere with strong winds and usually rain, thunder, lightning, or snow."
To think about the impact of the storm on society in a more positive way, we turned to culture.
We ask our guest speakers to come with music they like whose title or lyrics include the word “storm”.
The song is played as seminar attendees grab a sandwich and take a seat.
This makes a very decent playlist: our guests have good taste!
