This is where sparks fly. Where problems evolve into ideas and challenges turn into inspiration!
We invite you to the Changemaker Workshop Weekend on Saturday, May 21 and Sunday, May 22 where we'll gather in Pioneer Square to embark on a two-day event filled with epic design thinking, brainstorming and cross-discipline collaboration.
The Workshop Weekend is part two of the Changemaker Series and this year's theme is focused on housing and homelessness!
The creative methods taught in during the Workshop Weekend are based on sustainable principles, and you'll get the chance to meet your project team and other brilliant people in our community who want to change the world around them.
The Workshop Weekend will provide the critical foundation for the project teams working together over the summer. During the course of two jam-packed inspiring days you will:
- Meet and work with your project team
- Draw, act, write and share your brave, new ideas
- Learn tools and thinking used in the design field
- Gain a deeper understanding of your users
- Define your most immediate design problems
- Explore systems thinking and learn ways to design at scale
- Discover new methods to turn ideas into action
- Get the resources needed for a successful project
- Connect with other passionate changemakers
Presenters include:
