Reframing Problems for Social Change
As changemakers, many of us struggle with the most complex issues of our time. Systems of oppression are not only entrenched but interconnected. Even as we work to solve problems on the daily, a paralyzing thought can creep in: am I even solving the right problem?
George Aye joins us to facilitate this 3-hour workshop where you will be given concrete tools for starting or restarting your projects in a more strategic, action-oriented, and equitable way.
Whether you're a designer looking to make a positive impact or a changemaker looking to get unstuck, you will learn and practice methods for:
- Mapping root causes
- Writing positive goals
- Centering the humans most impacted
