ABOUT THIS EVENT
Within the context of adapting to climate change, placing humans at the centre of the sustainable development process is crucial. Participatory design becomes indispensable, especially for communities vulnerable to substantial climate impacts. This project aims to assess existing participatory design practices and investigate how digital solutions can enhance this process, aiding vulnerable communities in fortifying their resilience to climate challenges. Join us for a free, full-day workshop exploring the role of participatory design with participants from the UK, the Netherlands and Norway.
This workshop is a part of a project entitled Navigating Eco-Social Vulnerabilities Through Participatory Design: Uncovering Knowledge and Practical Gaps Across the UK, the Netherlands and Norway, which is funded by the British Academy under their programme Horizon Europe Pump Priming Collaboration 2024. It is a collaborative project involving universities and industry partners across the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Norway. The universities leading the project are Northumbria University, Delft University of Technology and Norwegian University of Science and Technology, with support from industry partners Fisher Cheng Ltd and The Glass-House Community Led Design.
You can find out more about the project here.
WHAT THE GLASS-HOUSE WILL BE DOING
Sophia will be one of the speakers and will talk about the opportunities and challenges of participatory design, share some of the tools and methods that we use at The Glass-House, and touch on some examples from our work supporting participatory design, with a focus on the role of digital tools.
