In this one-day workshop at Hub Melbourne, the good folk from Huddle Design will introduce you to the approach of design thinking and service design in developing projects with positive social impact.
This will be a practical workshop where we’ll be developing five projects for social good, as nominated by participants.
The aim is to give you an understanding of social design and be able to apply this approach to your own projects and campaigns.
For those of you proposing a project for the Social Change Collaboratory to work on over the next few months, or if you have your own social enterprise or project you are developing – this could be an opportunity for you to test and improve your concept.
If you would like to submit a project, enterprise or campaign for the workshop please email david@doingsomethinggood.com.au
You will also get to pitch your idea at the Social Change Collaboratory Meetup – Designing for Change on Tuesday 12 April.
The cost of the workshop is only $45 for the day. All materials will be provided, and lunch and light refreshments are included (vegetarian options will be available). There is a $20 discount for Hub Melbourne Members.
