Time for new coalitions – Journalism x Design
Societal issues are complex, multi-layered, and cannot be solved in a straightforward manner. In order to create momentum, a widely shared sense of urgency is required – only then space for change can emerge. Journalists analyse where progress has stalled; designers search for opportunities to approach matters differently. However, how do these two approaches relate to one another? Are journalists allowed to propose possible solutions? And is design research sufficient to uncover the core of a problem?
During this meetup, together with Daniëlle Arets (Professor of Design in Journalism at Fontys University of Applied Sciences) and artist TINKEBELL (Katinka Simonse), we will explore the added value of collaboration in an evolving professional field.
For who is this event:
This event is intended for designers, journalists, and organisations that introduce new ideas to bring about positive change in society, as well as stakeholders who wish to apply a design approach to a societal challenge.
As an innovator in society, you are a valuable participant during the event. This meetup will provide the opportunity to learn from one another and to share experiences about working in a design-driven way on societal issues. You will discover how others adress these challenges, gain new insights, and be inspired to apply these methods within your own work.
