Design meets sustainability

What can designers do to build a sustainable culture?

25.11.202518:00 – 19:30BergenKong Oscars gate 23

Anita S.

For years, economists and strategists have borrowed methods and mindsets from the design profession; using design thinking to solve complex challenges. But what if we reverse the perspective: What can designers do to build a sustainable culture?

In this talk, we explore what it really means to be sustainable – and how design can be a driver for change. Anita shares a practical framework, a conversation tool, to help you start meaningful discussions about sustainability in your own organization.

Designers have the creativity and problem-solving skills needed to shape the future, but we must dare to experiment more. Now it’s time to use these strengths – and take on the role of sustainability facilitators in a world that needs bold ideas and new perspectives.
