Rethinking is a skillset & mindset which is needed more than ever in a fast changing world. In an interactive way participants reflected of moments in which a strong thought or opinion changed and they journey they went to. One of the insights from the book, is not only having a support network but a challenge network as well. We enjoyed going on "challenge dates" and expand our thinking.

Whether it’s due to permanent, temporary, or situational limitations, everyone experiences exclusion as they interact with products and services. We as designers seek and use them as opportunities to create new ideas and inclusive designs. Instead of defining a disability as a personal health condition, the methodology argues that a disability should be defined as mismatched human interactions. During this session, Josephine told the story of how Microsoft has created a Design methodology that enables and draws on the full range of human diversity, and how we can apply it.

But not all policies are designed for equity or accessibility. Often we ignore verbose legalese and just accept the terms and conditions until something goes wrong. How might we apply a more structured design process to policy making? What are the different layers and areas that  policy needs to be investigated and designed for our products of the future? 

In this Web Jam, we’ll unpack the different layers of policy and consider the implications, governance, accessibility and processes necessary for designing a speculative product in the metaverse.

One portal of inspiration that is constantly available to us is the natural world around us. This session invites you to actively expand your innovation and expressive lens, to include the elements (of which we are made and in constant interaction with), and begin to discover the many ways in which nature inspires our perceptions and creative work. Let's get outside of our brains and see what there is to discover.

Please note that due to daylight savings ending in Europe, the start time for US Eastern time will be at *12.00* instead.

Emily Poel and Colin Skelton are collaborators in creating the BodyMind Lab., an experimental space devoted to conceptualising and innovating practices supporting body-mind intelligence. Our goal is to bridge the body/mind gap by curating the current scientific discourse on embodied cognition and bringing it into concrete, physical practice, through the reflective merging of felt-sense and intellect.
