How to Delight Strangers

Friday, March 21 2025 / Workshops

A unique social experiment event that will change the way WE think about connecting with strangers. 

What opportunities can only happen when strangers come together? 

Our intention is to help Calgarians discover new ways to delight strangers, to create unexpected moments of joy and connection in public and online spaces. 

In a time where we are more wary than ever of each other, Teknion and Social Studies Lab are partnering to create an event to bring us closer together.

The Métis call the Calgary area Otos-kwunee. In the Blackfoot language, they call this place, Moh-kins-tsis. The Stoney Nakoda Nation refer to the Calgary area as Wîchîspa Oyade and the people of the Tsuut’ina nation call this area Guts-ists-i. We would like to acknowledge that we are located on the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 Region in Southern Alberta.

This includes: the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai collectively known as the Blackfoot Confederacy; the Îethka Nakoda Wîcastabi First Nations, comprised of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations; and the Tsuut’ina First Nation.
