Stockholm Design Week

Event Type:

Workshop

Details:

The workshop piloted the first series of signs focused on future climate events in Stockholm. Invited participants from various professional backgrounds, including industry partners and members of Vinnova attended the event. Signs were based on the insights of our subject matter experts and centered around indigenous perspectives and mental health, amongst other issues. Facilitators captured participants’ initial emotional responses to the realities each sign depicted and used them as the basis to create new signs.
