Non-Human Persona Workshop: Let's give nature a voice in the park!
Join us at Regents Park in London for this workshop hosted by Design for Good and Life-Centered Design School.
In the park we will explore what it means to design for life with non-human perspectives at the heart of creativity. You meet other passionate designers who want to create an impact during this POP-Up event while learning the tools of LCD. Together, we will create vulnerable stories from the point of view of the trees, birds, insects, or other species that live in the park.
Do you ever stop to see, smell, feel, or hear the nature around you as a designer?
Nature is all around, even in urban environments. However, we never seem to recognise its beauty because we are in a hurry. In modern life, we have to reconnect with nature, giving us life, health, and joy.
As designers, we can help our fellow citizens connect with the world around us by designing our products, services, and organisations in a life-centered way. This starts with having conversations with nature and other unheard voices and including them in our design work.
Non-Human Personas (NHP):
Non-human personas are a way to create an emotional connection with nature and non-human entities in Life-Centered Design through scientific research, creativity, and imagination. They help you understand the needs and perspectives of non-human actors and create designs that include them. Creating a non-human persona involves scientific research, immersive research, emotional narrative, and communication through various mediums.
The workshop:
During this active, imaginative, and immersive activity, you will first give nature a voice in the park by creating a Non-Human Persona. After we present the park's voices, we share what we have learned during the workshop. Rest assured, we will provide all the necessary workshop materials. All you need to bring is your imagination!
Why do the DfG and the LCD School collaborate?
Design for Good will support Sustainable Development Goal 4—Quality Education for the next two years. As a school, we proudly support Design for Good and its partners to design ways to improve inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
