Workshop Description

In this workshop Dr. Susie Wise from Stanford d.school will share concrete frameworks from her newly released book Design for Belonging: How to Build Inclusion and Collaboration in Your Communities. Participants will use the framework: Feel It, See It, Shape It, an accessible way to use design mindsets to create belonging in schools. Together we will dig into concrete experiential moments – the invitation, joining, participating, contributing, and even dissent – to explore opportunities to build belonging. We will also discover and use an expanded set of the levers of design to increase creativity by considering things like space, role, rituals, groupings, and communications in new ways.

All participants will receive a copy of Design for Belonging: How to Build Inclusion and Collaboration in Your Communities
