Designing the future! Cotech event @SPACE4

:heavy_multiplication_x: :heavy_multiplication_x: Hi everyone :grinning:

Just a gentle reminder about our event this week on Wednesday, and that we hope to see some of you here. We are extremely excited to have organised this event as we feel it’s extremely relevant to what is going around us at the moment.

We will bring together designers who are interested in applying their skills to social issues and building social movements. Join us to hear their thoughts, and discuss the issues at stake.

We’ll be hearing from: :microphone: :microphone:
