Nieuwegein, The Netherlands (09:30-17:00 CET)
Water is essential for humans and nature, and it is intimately related with systems such as land, food, energy and ecosystems where major developments are in progress. Safeguarding the value of water in the context of these developments is not straightforward and it requires a transformation of paradigms, structures, institutions, action perspectives and practices. A design approach creates the space to search for innovation in thought, action and organisation. Public Design for Water will focus on research and design relating to the how of the water transition.
Participatns will immerse themselves in (1) thinking, (2) doing and (3) experiencing the power of design for collective water challenges. The day will create space for in-depth conversations and transformative learning with leading scientists and designers in these three tracks and share success stories and lessons from Public Design practice.
Join scientists, artists, designers, water utilities, civil servants, NGOs and businesses in the conversation and share experiences to build a water-wise society.
