Redesigning the future

— Designers, policymakers and thinkers discuss how radical design thinking can provide positive answers and innovative solutions to shape the future.

Design can play a crucial role in engaging with people around the world to reimagine what a sustainable and equitable future might look like. Asking the right questions about the future people want can spark conversations and drive changes to create a better world. 

  • How can design and policy work together to shape a sustainable and equitable future for all?
  • How can futures thinking help design and policy to navigate complexity?
  • How can design thinking provide inspiration to younger generations to believe in and be part of the future they want?

This event is produced as part of SNF CoLab, a project to share ideas in experimental, collaborative ways and to learn how to design a better future.
