After the Pandemic is an initiative established by Lateral North, Fergus Bruce and Laura McHard which explores how we RETHINK, REIMAGINE and REDESIGN the spaces and places within our urban environments and how we can respond to the pandemic to make them greener, sustainable and more resilient. The initiative was launched as a response to us being confined to our homes, and as we considered the outside we wanted to see us build back better through community-focused and design-led projects which put people at the heart of a green recovery.

The Design Weans is Glasgow’s branch of The Design Kids, which is an international organisation aiming to bridge the gap between design students/grads and the design industry. We have been going for two years now, running workshops, talks, networking evenings and exhibitions for Glasgow's creatives. We have a popular Glasgow based social following on instagram, over at @thedesignweans, and our parent organisation @thedesignkids has a very large global following. Please see the wee pdf attached to give you a little idea about what we do.
