As the COVID-19 pandemic has shown, meaningful societal change often happens as a reaction to disruptive events. But to create a sustainable society, we can no longer wait for the next crisis to change the way we live, work and operate.
This interactive workshop will explore how individuals and organisations can anticipate shocks, design for resilience, and thrive in uncertainty. The session will be run by design and social innovation practitioners Beatrice Bekar and Nicole Afonso Alves Calistri.
