The Design 4 Conservation method: facilitating change from a multispecies perspective
Design for Conservation (D4C) is a methodology that enables participative problem-solving for environmental conservation and sustainability challenges. This toolkit enables participants to address complex challenges in a creative, non-linear way, taking into consideration multiple stakeholder points of view - human and nonhuman - and the complex interactions between emotional, spiritual, and scientific approaches. The methodology balances work and play, fostering trust among participants, and creating a safe space for multiple world views to co-exist.
Learning outcomes:
In this workshop you will be introduced to the Design for Conservation methodology and gain insight into the following topics:
An overview of global challenges, systems thinking, sustainability principles and place-based approaches
The 5 stages of the D4C methodology and the tools that each stage offers
Mental models, the importance of indigenous wisdom, and how to harness the power of multiple worldviews for innovation.
Case study and application examples.
Who is this workshop for?
Designers, design and creative directors, studio owners, design teachers, professional facilitators, or anyone with an interest in designing with planet in mind.
