BDAMS #17: Conscious Design. How to design for social change?

How to design for social change? How do you make your audience aware of their own behaviour or state of mind? And how do you take into account long-term and unintended consequences of what we design and produce?

These questions and more will be discussed in the next edition of the Behaviour Design AMS meetup, brought to you by guest curators Ramon Schreuder and Klasien van de Zandschulp. We're inviting two inspiring speakers who will share their view on the topic of conscious design.

We'll wrap up with a moderated panel discussion involving the whole audience in a conversation that we believe is much needed – a first step towards building more sustainable, responsible products and services.
