We want to create a space where we can talk honestly and practically about what it means to go beyond inclusive design - to question who design is for, how it’s done, and how we might do it differently.
This event will include an activity to provoke thought and discussion about what it means to design beyond inclusivity, followed by a more in-depth discussion via a panel.
🙋 Who’s it for?
This is for anyone working in or around design - whether you’re in services, research, strategy, policy, or community roles.
You might:
- Be curious about the term “decolonising” but not sure where to start
- Feel a bit disconnected from this kind of conversation
- Be looking for a more grounded, less academic way in
- Just want to meet others thinking about design and equity in new ways
🔍 What can you expect?
- A hands-on group activity: it’ll invite you to explore an unfamiliar world, challenge assumptions and get you thinking differently about power, culture and design
- Panel discussion and group conversation about how we talk about — and act on — the idea of decolonising design in our work.
- More conversations and networking at the pub to follow
🪴 What you’ll take away
- A practical framework you can adapt or reuse in your own work
- A more grounded sense of what “decolonising” can mean in everyday practice
- A chance to connect with others exploring similar questions
