Redesign Belonging Interactive Talk
Creative Thinking for Social Innovation
Speaker
Katja Tschimmel, Senior Consultant | Managing Partner NA’MENTE / MINDSHAKE
Date and Time
Thu Sep 11 14:00 CEST / 15:00 EEST
Description
In a world increasingly shaped by complexity, inequality, and cultural fragmentation, creative thinking emerges as a vital skill for generating inclusive, human-centred solutions. This talk explores how specific cognitive mechanisms of creative thinking can be consciously activated and applied to address social innovation challenges—especially those related to belonging, intercultural connection, and community building, as highlighted in the ReBel project.
We will introduce four key categories of creative thinking: Perception – seeing differently to challenge assumptions Interrogation – asking better questions to shift perspectives Comparison – using analogies and associations to create bridges Language – naming, translating, and expressing the new
Through a dynamic mix of theory and hands-on activities, participants will experience short exercises that activate each skill. These are designed to stimulate dialogue between disciplines, while reflecting the tensions often encountered in communication and innovation work:
- Strategy vs Creativity
- Global consistency vs Local relevance
- Data-driven logic vs Emotional storytelling
- wheel of accessibility: 8 parts of accessibility
The talk is both conceptual and experiential, inviting participants to reflect on how divergent thinking can foster empathetic, cross-cultural, and transformative design practices in service of more inclusive communities and narratives.
Redesign Belonging Online Webinar
Vulnerable participants in Co-Creation and Research
Speaker
Researcher Karen Hough, Fundea
Date and Time
Fri Sep 26 10:00 CEST / 11:00 EEST
Description
In this online webinar, Dr Karen Hough will examine the critical importance of conducting research on vulnerable populations with an emphasis on inclusivity, ethical rigor, and the social responsibility of researchers. The session will stress the necessity of incorporating vulnerable groups as fully as possible to ensure their voices, experiences, and needs are genuinely reflected in research outcomes.
Drawing on examples from the EU funded ReBel, MIICT and Perceptions projects, she will illustrate effective strategies for engaging participants in a culturally sensitive and respectful manner, navigating informed consent, and addressing the barriers that these populations often face, such as issues of accessibility, trust, and representation.
Additionally, the webinar will explore the ethical imperative of safeguarding participants from potential harm and exploitation. By ensuring the meaningful inclusion of vulnerable populations, researchers not only enrich the quality and relevance of their findings but also uphold principles of social justice and equity, thereby contributing to the betterment of these communities through their work.
This session is interactional and audience is encourage to actively participate in the discussion.
