Want to be part of the Open call selection process? This is your chance to be part of selecting the five winning projects
out of the 11 finalists. The Jury selected a final shortlist out of over 50 amazing submissions and the public
webinar will give you the opportunity to see the creativity and innovation the applicants showcased in their approach
to fostering belonging. You will hear directly from the finalists, who will explain a bit more about their projects
and how they are looking to develop them within the Redesign Belonging programme.
Redesigning Belonging explores how design and co-creation can nurture a sense of belonging. With the open call we
asked designers, students, creative makers and thinkers and anyone with innovative ideas to help us Redesign Belonging and
we are excited for the next stage of the process!
