Salty Water, Sweet City: my talk at What Design Can Do

Salty Water, Sweet City: my talk at What Design Can Do

On June 30 I was keynote speaker at What Design Can Do. My lecture was called ‘Salty Water, Sweet City’.

What Design Can Do showcases design as a catalyst of change and renewal and promotes it as a way of addressing the societal questions of our time. The story is told through the annual conference in Amsterdam, additional conferences in other parts of the world, the worldwide What Design Can Do Challenge, as well as their own publications and the WDCD blog. This year I was also part of the selection committee for the Refugee Challenge
