When you see things not for what they are, but for what they have the potential to become, you can turn anything into something more valuable than itself. That’s why you do not want to miss the opening of the annual Grad Show at the award winning Berghs School of Communication in Stockholm.

Every year Berghs School of Communication arranges a graduation show. This year the school will be showcasing 40 final projects from its 145 graduates. The Grad Show 2014 goes under the name “Make it matter” with an emphasis on meaningful and relevant communication. By this the students want to focus on what matters to people and how communication can lift that value.

“A simple product can matter more or less depending on the context it is placed in. A cup of coffee can just be a drink or a possibility for two old friends to meet. Value is not something you just add, it is something you create from what you already have” says Fredrik Narthorst-Westfelt, Art Director student at  Berghs School of Communication.

During two intensive exhibition days the visitors will have the possibility to see 40 examples of how Berghs students solved they briefs.

One of the groups helped to make the citizens of a small Swedish city called Gävle prouder of their town. Gävle Tryouts is a digital service project connecting the unemployed youth of Gävle with companies that have temporary labor needs. The service makes it possible for the young to work and find out what they really want to do in life, and at the same time gain work experience. Both companies and young citizens of Gävle receive value which in return creates a prouder city. This creates reasons both for young people to stay and for more companies to move in.

How can DeLaval, an international producer of VMS milking systems, use digital storytelling to become the top of mind manufacturer among farmers?
“When cows are milked by the VMS system, without the farmer involved in the process, they feel more comfortable and relaxed, and as the result they produce more milk. We called this milk “Happy Milk”. Simply because the cows need to be happy in order to produce it” says Hanna von Oelreich, communication student at Berghs School of Communication.
