Dr. Sarah Schulman from InWithForward speaks at SDGC19 in Toronto.
How do we turn our social safety nets into trampolines? That big, hairy, audacious question led our small social design team from the UK to Australia to The Netherlands to Canada. We knew if we wanted to disrupt social systems, and fundamentally shift outcomes for people most on the margins, we couldn’t do it as fly-in and fly-out design consultants. We needed to be full partners in change. This talk will offer the story of our partnership: how a passionate, idealistic, and at times, naive group of service designers, industrial designers, graphic designers, interactions designers, ethnographers, sociologists, and community developers has worked alongside mid-level managers, frontline workers, non-profit CEOS and bureaucrats to reimagine the social sector. We used to believe it was all about building the capacity of the sector to do research & development. We don’t believe that anymore. Come along to this talk as we share and debunk myths around collaboration, consultancy, and capacity building. Find out what we think it will take to move past incremental reform to disruptive transformation.

44. What makes a meraki box?
novelty
connection
Many of the people who will
use your box have lives full
of things they enjoy! The
challenge is introducing NEW
things into their context.
We don’t want these boxes to
be generalized and watered
down- we want them to be
specific and enriching.
Boxes should always help the
users find a new pathway to
community.
This could be a meetup group, a
class or competition, a place
with a collection of content
about your topic, a Kudoz
experience, or maybe a group
challenge.
soul
Meraki boxes are soulful
because they capture the
passion and peculiarities of
their Muses.
When people open up your box
for the first time, we want
them to feel as if they’ve
opened a gift you made just
for them.
