FISH@6 The Innovation Climate Challenge on May 21st
Our next monthly FISH@6 innovation workshop is themed Innovation Climate Challenge and offers an opportunity for participants to explore design possibilities that will have an impact on carbon with others. As in the previous workshops, no prior knowledge is required but an openness to innovation, sustainability and exploring ideas.
We have lined up some fantastic speakers for the evening:
Janine Cahill, CEO and Innovation Designer, Future Journeys
Associate Professor Douglas Tomkin, School of Design at UTS
Selena Griffith, Lecturer, School of Design Studies, College of Fine Arts, UNSW
Dr. Andrew Wallace, Head of Network for European Technocrats, Technocracy for a Sustainable Future
Steven McKinnon, Future Canvas Melbourne on Reforestation project commencing in Docklands
Dr. Brian Lennon: Possible Carbon Winners and how we might achieve them
Maryella Hatfield will show a segment of her documentary “The Future Makers” – people creating solutions that won’t cost the earth
Our speakers come from different areas of expertise. Therefore the different perspectives and the diversity of talent and ideas will be stimulating to think differently about the Climate Challenge.
The workshop will be structured around those or similar questions: What can WE do here and now to reverse greenhouse gases in the atmosphere? Is integration possible? How do our efforts at home and at work translate to the big picture? How do we design systems that have a real impact? How can our consumption and production be effective in reducing greenhouse gases? What does a healthy system look like?
These stimulating speeches will be followed by group discussions on the application of the presented ideas.
In groups we will then co-design solutions in a facilitated and mentored environment. This will give us new insights and let us develop new ideas in regards to the Climate Change issue. Ideas will be shared within the workshop which will show the diverse possibilities and leave us inspired to take action in our companies and homes.
So come and join us for this great next Innovation Workshop in Sydney!
