Eindhoven Global Goals Jam 2020

2020 is a year of great social, environmental and economic transformation! It has made us aware of the importance of an effective and equitable healthcare system for all. It opened our eyes to the urgent need of protecting our environment and slowing down climate change. Last - but not least - it made us talk about sustainable economic progress and showed us how much sustainable progress depends on the well-being of people and our planet.

With these topics still hot in everyone’s mind, tini studio and morgenmakers would like to invite you to join the Eindhoven Global Goals Jam 2020 on 18th and 19th of September.

With the kind sponsorship of Gemeente Eindhoven, we are organising a hybrid event in different inspiring locations in Eindhoven and online. On Friday 18th each team will brainstorm on a different challenge related to the SDGs (check the challenges below!). On Saturday 19th all the teams will come together online for wonderful keynotes and to present to each other the results of the work! On both days, the Art of Living foundation will offer amazing yoga and meditation workshops to keep the energy flowing!

To participate in one of the co-creations, book your free ticket for one of the challenges below. To help us create teams, PLEASE BOOK ONLY ONE TICKET PER CHALLENGE PER PERSON:

1) Food - the touch-point between health and environment by Studio Silver, Eindhoven University of Technology - online. In The Netherlands, 1.6 million people suffer from cardiovascular diseases (CVD). These diseases can be prevented with healthy eating habits. But what does 'eating healthy' mean? This team will brainstorm on concepts, services and/or strategies around healthy nutrition to prevent CVD and the relationship between healthy food with the environment.

2) Preventing isolation in (dementia) care homes by Studio Silver, Eindhoven University of Technology - online. Seniors are one of the most vulnerable groups to Covid-19. During the healthcare crisis, they have been advised to physically and socially isolate, leading to a lack of physical activities and fewer interactions. This issue affects care home residents and even more those affected by dementia. This team will brainstorm on concepts, services and/or strategies to prevent and reduce isolation in care homes with the option of focusing on more vulnerable residents, such as dementia patients.

3) SOLD OUT Who cares for the carers? by Studio Silver, Eindhoven University of Technology - online Caregivers' well-being can be affected by high levels of work related stress, both mental and physical. When the current healthcare crisis hit, caretakers in care homes have been presented with the additional challenge of continuing their caring duties, while also preserving their own health and safety. This team will brainstorm on concepts, services and/or strategies to support caretakers prevent and release work related stress.

4) SOLD OUT Sectie-C and Sustainability: a Green Plan strategy by Sectie-C Stichting and Focus Real Estate - in person meeting. Sectie-C is a "limitless domain merging independent thinkers and authentic doers within a unique, organic culture." The Sectie-C terrain needs a strategy to become more environmentally sustainable and tackling challenges such as the recent flooding. This strategy also needs to deliver value to its community and the landowners, Focus Real Estate. This team will co-create with LAB-C, a creative collective based on Sectie-C, short term actions (1-2 years time) to be integrated in a long term strategy plan of up to 7 years.

5) SOLD OUT Solar energy: a bright path towards a sustainable future by ZLTO - in person meeting. ZLTO is an association of 13000 farmers and gardeners from Noord Brabant, Zeeland and South Gelderland. ZTLO supports a broad sustainability agenda in the agricultural sector. Together with ZLTO, this team will brainstorm solutions and strategies on how to deploy solar panels in rural areas in order to deliver value to multiple stakeholders: the farmers, the citizens of Someren, the local municipality and the local energy cooperation.

6) Incentivising SDGs initiatives for the public by SEDGE - in person meeting. A 1.5 meter society should not prevent the public from engaging in SDGs activities. This team will co-create together with SEDGE on possible solutions and strategies to engage the greater public in face-to-face SDGs initiatives to keep raising awareness and pushing the SDGs agenda forward!
