As a new decade approaches, India is taking many a bold stride to create a new, sustainable future for a billion plus people.
However, sanitation, waste and water management continue to be complex unresolved issues in our country. Gandhiji had said, cleanliness is next to godliness. The UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Swachh Bharat Mission are working towards achieving this. But our waste and water management practices are so deeply ingrained in us, that they have become a part of our subconscious behavior and rituals.
WHO IS IT FOR?

CHANGE BEGINS WITH US
Join us at the Design Sense Barefoot workshop on the 20th to 22nd February 2019 at the Spread Design Barn for a radically different experience, where outcomes matter and prototypes will be incubated.Get in touch with us and we will be happy to share more details.
HOW WE DO IT?
A transdisciplinary collective will take up this challenge, learn and apply the design sense method. We will together discover design sense, or design as a deeply ingrained, natural adaptive sense honed by a conscious and constant effort to feel deeply, think imaginatively and do hands-on to achieve the seemingly unthinkable.
Day 1/ FEEL TRIP
An approach and mindset of moving forward by consciously gaining insights and responding to situations by acting creatively, making design a natural adaptive sense.
Deep immersion to go beyond first impressions, biases and assumptions; to gain a nuanced understanding. Of individuals, groups and communities; their choices and cultures. Synthesis of observations and data to derive insights.
Day 2/ THINK BEYOND
Critical and bold creative, divergent and convergent thinking.
Reframing problems as opportunities, imagining possible scenarios while thinking beyond and exploring what as practices we must destroy, preserve and create. To create fresh meaning and value. Discover bold ideas, shape fresh opportunities and expand possibilities. Hack cultures and behaviors successfully.
Day 3/ DO DAY
Design, Build, Spread and Disrupt. Design Sense is for leaders acting creatively, consistently and systematically with authentic intent. To condition participants to a holistic approach, we provoke a greater human sense, natural sense, aesthetic sense, economic sense, cognitive sense, natural sense, technology sense, evolution sense.
Join hands to develop holistic solutions that can be shaped into tangible prototypes and projects. Present them to the teams. To gain a real sense of the feasibility, viability and desirability of journeys, solutions, experiences ideated – developing narratives and prototypes for genuine feedback and further development.
