Entrepreneurs (and designers) can change the world


Inspirational or overly sentimental ?
You decide.
Personally I'm stuck between the two, but it is very effective and pretty to look at . . .

I've been invited by the RSA and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation to participate in a week long interactive design workshop in Portugal as part of Experimenta, the Lisbon design biennial. The workshop is to examine the role of designers in addressing some of the complex challenges, and the exciting opportunities, presented by an ageing population and we will be working alongside a group of Portuguese designers and design students.
The RSA also have a new, short Design Directions project based around healthy workplaces with particular attention to the ageing population in our workplaces. If you're at a loose end you can see the brief here.
