Location: The Reliance

In a world of constant motion and change, wellbeing and compassion need to remain a priority for everyone to flourish and succeed. However, designing systems with the individual experience in mind is highly complex, and therefore it is common to fall back onto the ‘one-size-fits-all’ mentality. This night, we have two doctoral researchers and one lecturer sharing their impact and plans on redesigning systems with agency at its centre. Join us to hear how we can best reimagine care and education with a person-forward approach!
