The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that design could have a major role in reshaping work, employment and livelihoods as we navigate the post-lockdown world. Not only have there been huge shifts in where people work, but also the types of work that are considered to most valuable to society.
This event is an incredible opportunity to hear from designers and policy experts about how the future of work is changing, how design thinking can create work that is more people-centred, and what new systems, organizations or business models could emerge.
- What does human-centred work look like and how do we want to experience work in the future?
- How can the way we organize work create fair conditions and social protections for all?
- How can the places we work, and the places we have created to support existing working practices, be reshaped in light of the COVID-19 pandemic?
This event is produced as part of SNF CoLab – our project to share our ideas with you in experimental, collaborative ways – and to learn how you think we can design a better future.
