Embassy of Inclusive Society conference

Organisations, companies, institutions, communities and individuals face challenges in identifying and making explicit shortcomings and how we want to work together to grow. How can we create spaces, processes and policies to enable continuous collective action towards an inclusive society? What does it mean to learn as an organisation? What does it take to unlearn? And can design help us be better prepared to live with each other’s differences and unexpected situations?

In this conference, Embassy aims to create space for the process of learning and unlearning, with inspiring design stories, personal reflections, collective exercises and a panel discussion. Speakers include architect Lyongo Juliana, Studio Smelt, artist Marcin Karwiński and leading experts from healthcare and research institutions. Designer and journalist Yassine Salihine will moderate the conversation, in collaboration with Embassy curator Shay Raviv.
