Collective Change
Details
Aloha Serv Labbers!
This time around, we partnered up with the magical folks from OpenIDEO London chapter to run a combined event!
This last event of the year is going to be slightly different than usual. Thanks to the expertise of OpenIDEO, the event will be a combination of talks and activities that will make us reflect on creating collective change. As researchers, designers, and innovators working across different sectors and regions, we want to create a space to come together to share and learn from each other.
The format might be different but there are some things that never change as the great line-up of speakers! We will be hearing from:
- Emma Parnell (she/her), Head of Design at Joy, and her story working on the Covid-19 vaccination booking service at NHS Digital and how she ensured that the service was inclusive for people of any sex or gender;
- Angus Rama Keck, Chief Operating Officer at AgUnity, telling us about using blockchain tech to support farmers in developing countries through the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Ahsan Khan (he/him), Co-Founder of Climate Labs, speaking about using Systems Thinking to explore pro-sustainability behaviours within communities with people of colour.
Tickets
Tickets for the event are £3.50 with all proceeds going to be donated! We will collectively decide the organisations during the event.
We also understand this is a unique and difficult time for all so there are also free tickets available, drop us a line, we are here for you!

You can choose to have your own video on or off. We will mute everyone during the presentation and when you join, so anyone won't be able to hear you unless you unmute.
We will be recording the session.
