I recently stumbled upon Iria’s work on LinkedIn where she was running a workshop. What struck me was the theme - Designing for loneliness. We speak about the importance of gaining greater context of why people congregate and attend extra-curricular events such as Design meet-ups etc. and that is of human-connection. The importance of being seen, and being heard and part of something. We chat about what we can do as change-makers to be more aware of this context and include it in our facilitation sessions that many of us do quite regularly - and that is to make space for it.https://www.linkedin.com/in/iria-lopez-51b1975/Creators & Guests Gerry Scullion - Host Stef Murphy - Producer ________________________BRING THIS IS HCD INTO YOUR ORGANISATION→ Train my organisation https://www.thisishcd.com/training→ Video Courses https://www.thisishcd.com/courses→ Coaching Community (Coaching, Courses, WhatsApp) https://www.thisishcd.com/members→ Gerry's consultancy (Service Design and Design Research) https://humana.design/________________________BECOME A DIRECTORY MEMBER (IT'S FREE!) and get all of this→ FREE Introduction to Journey Management course with Marc Stickdorn & Gerry Scullion (Sign up for free with an email)https://www.thisishcd.com/dashboard/learning/introduction-to-journey-management→ Discover & Connect with others https://www.thisishcd.com/directory→ Claim partner discounts https://www.thisishcd.com/partnersGerry wears clothes from Sutsu, and has a coupon code for them, as well as Smaply, Scenario Cards, Unit 1 and more...________________________All episodes have been produced by This is Podcasting.
