Paul JD Brennan
Department of Fun(TM) Founder

"We started the Jolly Dragon events community to help Finnish and International people get to understand eachother by playing together. It grew overwhelmingly as a much needed free service to citizens of greater Helsinki.

In 2009 we created 2500 events to help create social cohesion. In 2008 we won an award from Finland's largest media channel for best service to the city. Our mission for the Future is to enable millions of people to Ambassadors of Fun to make life in their city more Fun."

Tiia Nässi
Entrepreneur, singer

"Paul is superb. He is a visionary genius and the most creative problem solver I have met to date. He has drive and what sometimes seems like too much energy and he persists with things he believes in. I know him through many roles: teacher, colleague, friend..As a teacher he has the capability of putting himself in the learners shoes and teach from their perspective, as a colleague he inspires me and I have learnt so much from him..and most importantly as a friend.. "
