Join our new Pioneers for Change - RE:IMAGINE series. This fall we will be guided by some amazing guests to discuss and rethink the question; in what world do we want to live? How does this relate to our modern worldview of seperation and infinite growth? How can we reimagine and reshape it and what do we need to know about transition theories and symtem change?

Workshop | Speculative Design & Rethinking Design Principles

with: Anouk Geenen, Julieta Matos Castaño & Reon Brand

Learn to use your imagination! Get to know the basics of the method Speculative Design.

How can we rethink value in a changing landscape?

About this workshop

By engaging with speculative design, we will reflect on ethical and social impacts of current and future developments. Which will lead to raising relevant questions that help us to rethink our present practices ánd gives an idea on how to achieve desirable futures.

As a participant you will reflect on how values (and their meanings) might evolve as a result of the evolution of current trends leading to projected futures .

For this workshop we will work within the context of future direction Gaia: which 'compels us to look at our place in the ecosystem not as humans versus the environment, but as active agents that are part of a larger ecosystem’.

For more information about this 4th track from the Co-Emerging Futures study by Reon Brand, Philips Design, check the paper here.

👀 FRESH PERSPECTIVES

What If from now on we start designing for Mutuality and Cooperation instead of Competative Advantage?

From Design for Scalability to Design for Diversity and local fit? And from Human-centric Design to Ecosystem-centric Design?

After the introduction part by Reon, Anouk Geenen and Julieta Matos Castaño will facilitate a higly interactive Speculative Design workshop.

During this 2 hour workshop you will also work on something very tangible: you will make a start with prototyping your future job in a Gaia world!

Curious what this job might look like for you?

Then join us!

Flow of the workshop

4:00-4.05 INTRO

4:05 -4.35 RE:THINK - New Design Principles for emerging future Gaia, by Reon Brand

4:35-5.40 WORKSHOP - Speculative Design method

1) Zoom in on current practices and values

2) Value changes Gaia Future

3) Re-thinking your own level playing field: work, purpose, job

4) Prototyping future jobs in a Gaia Future , including YOUR desired job

5:40-6:00 RE:CAP - Attendees presenting work & shared reflection

NOTE

Ideally this workshop is experienced as a whole, combined with the insights from the pioneer session about Co-Emerging Futures on October 28, interactive lecture by Reon Brand, senior director Foresight, Trends and Peoples Reserach at Philips Design.

ABOUT

Julieta Matos Castaño is a postdoctoral researcher at DesignLab (Human Centred Design, University of Twente). Her research interests lie in the development of approaches to support collaborative futures making. In this project, Julieta explores ways to develop inclusive smart city visions. To this end, she explores the relations between design practices, inclusive imaginaries, sensemaking processes and smart city futures.

Anouk Geenen is a PhD candidate within the Human Centred Design group at the University of Twente. In her doctoral research, Anouk is combining the hands-on approach of design with the theoretical frameworks from philosophy and science and technology studies. Working on the smart city project, she will look at meaningful ways to bring various stakeholders together, to let them reflect upon the smart city technologies and co-create responsible smart city futures.

With a bachelor in Liberal Arts and Sciences and a master degree in Theoretical Physics combined with a Science in Society major, Anouk is an interdisciplinary scholar at heart.

Speculative Futures chapter

Next to their research, Anouk and Julieta co-founded the Speculative Futures chapter in The Hague which aims to bring futures-thinking to a wider audience.

PIONEERS FOR CHANGE | RE:IMAGINE Series

This session is part of a series of Pioneers for Change interactive webinars. With (inter)national pioneering speakers such as Jeremy Lent (The Web of Meaning), Reon Brand (Co-emerging Futures & Rethinking Value), Anouk Geen & Julieta Matos Castano (Speculative Design) and Jan Rotmans (Professor of transition studies and sustainability)
