About the Workshop: Exploring Inclusion Through Design

In the Netherlands there are more farmed animals than people, yet we rarely see or hear them in daily life. This workshop invites you to imagine what changes if we bring them into our awareness.

Through creative exercises, dialogue, and visual reflection, we’ll step into their perspective and explore new ways of thinking about care and justice. No special skills are needed, just curiosity and openness. Together we use tools from social design, interaction design, and speculative design to question who is included and who is left out in our systems.

You will leave with fresh perspectives, a stronger sense of connection, and ideas to carry into your own practice or daily life. It’s an accessible and inspiring way to explore inclusion and empathy through design.

What Will You Do and Gain

Using tools from social design and interaction design, we explore new ways of listening, reflecting, and connecting. Through guided exercises, writing, and dialogue, you’ll engage with perspectives that are often excluded. You’ll leave with new insights, a broader perspective, and inspiration for inclusive and ethical approaches.

Why Join?

This workshop is for both designers, students, policymakers, as well as anyone who's curious about ethical and inclusive design. No experience is needed, just an open mind and curiosity.

Join to challenge assumptions, and connect with like-minded participants in an open minded and intimate setting. This workshop offers a hands-on, thoughtful, and collaborative experience.
