De Tekentafel: How does design contribute to a more resilient society?

Podcast 7: How does design contribute to a more resilient society?

To answer that question, we talk to Mieke van Heesewijk of the SIDN Fund. She talks about the HackShield project, which uses storytelling and gamification to increase children’s online resilience. They do this with a game for children in which they turn them into real Junior Cyber Agents. Heroes who not only protect themselves, but also their environment from online danger. We also talk to social designer Marjolein Vermeulen about De Nacht Club; a safe place for unsafe subjects. Using the night as a source of inspiration, they organise interventions in public space that invite residents and professionals to be more honest, open and daring under the cover of night.
