Welcome to Design Week. A week to build relations, explore, get inspired and be playful with and around design.
Design Week.
The world needs Design now more than ever.
In November, Influence’s Design for Needs-team invites you all to a week in the spirit of Design! Each day will hold an event on a different topic, meant to invite you into the world of Design and inspire you to find new ways of thinking and doing.
The events will be open for all New Ground Alliance members and external participants. We want to inspire and open up a discussion to embrace design. To attend these events, no previous design experience is required. More information about the events and how to sign up will be found below. The events will be a mix of digital and physical events at our office at Norrmalmstorg.
Further information will be added to this page shortly. Do you have any questions? Reach out to Jenny Fossum at Influence.
