ABOUT
This talk series explores how design thinking and collective impact can serve as modalities to investigate complex issues and align multiple stakeholders for a cohesive solution.
Utilising grovve as an actualised example, the first session discusses how design thinking was utilised to address youth mental wellness. The various DT consultants from across multiple disciplines will share their insights and experiences working on grovve. A roundtable discussion moderated by WY-TO, and an audience Q&A will end this first segment.
In the second session, grovve is one example of how a collective impact process can serve as a framework for balancing multilayered projects with numerous stakeholder considerations. Representatives from other CI projects and organisations will also share their thoughts on the utilisation of collective impact as a framework. FARM will moderate the second roundtable discussion and subsequent Q&A.
Finally, a brief tour will be conducted around grovve, where participants can see how some of the prior considerations during the design thinking phase have been interpreted spatially.
ORGANISER
FARM
FARM is many things at once: a cross disciplinary design practice, an architecture atelier, a curatorial team, a community-centred arts organisation and even a design lab. FARM is named as such because it would like to cultivate a culture of imagination. Underpinning all that it does is a belief that joyful creativity is essential in all our lives.
CO-ORGANISER
WY-TO
Headquartered and based in Singapore with a presence in Paris and Bali, WY-TO leads experiential projects with a Planetary well-being approach. Their visionary, human-centric work spans Place Visioning, Masterplanning, Experiential Design, Culture Curation, Exhibitions, and Visual Communication has enabled them to shape a spectrum of interventions.
