Design jam for impact: Let’s collaborate and co-create to tackle social and sustainability issues.
Overview
Design jam for impact: Let’s collaborate and co-create to tackle social and sustainability issues.
Join us for our 5 edition of the DESIGN JAM FOR IMPACT organized by the DESIS Lab @ Nova SBE and the DESIS Lab @ Faculty of Architecture in Lisbon. This is an amazing opportunity to engage in multi-disciplinary collaboration to design, iterate and refine impactful solutions to address social and environmental issues.
WHAT WILL WE DO
The day will be fast-paced and full of hands-on activities to allow you collaboratively generate innovative solutions to help six projects (from NovaSBE and FAUL students and social entrepreneurs tackling social and environmental issues).
We will practice design thinking and learn practical tools to nurture your creative problem-solving and develop meaningful and sustainable solutions to tackle complex social and environmental issues in our communities.
Design thinking is a powerful approach to help develop insights into problems that generate solutions that may otherwise remain hidden to you.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
Multidisciplinary communication and collaboration, journey maps, prototyping, scenarios and storytelling.
More than anything, you’ll have the opportunity to work with like-minded passionate people from different disciplines!
HOW?
As a participant, you will be a creative collaborator. As such you will work with 6 projects which address a social and / or environmental issue. They are passionate by their idea but they also believe in the power of collaboration and diversity, and are looking for creative inputs and different perspectives.
The workshop will be facilitated mainly by Anne-Laure Fayard (Nova SBE) and Inês Veiga (FAUL) (See below to know more about our team).
WHO?
If you are passionate about impact and want to hone your design thinking skills, flex your creative muscles and nurture your collaborative power, sign up and join us on April 6th!
