About this Event
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, DesignMeets and OCAD U come together to host a discussion about how design can more intentionally support the Love Economy, the essential, yet all too often undervalued space within the economy where care and nurturing happen. Through real-world examples with community thinkers and innovators, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of what the Love Economy is and why care-centred systems matter.
We will discuss new ways of thinking about complex social challenges related to housing, food, ageing, and technology, and how we can integrate values of care, equity, and interdependence into the design practice. Participants will leave with fresh perspectives, practical insights, and a deeper understanding of how economies can better support collective wellbeing.
Join us as we explore this timely and important intersection between design, care, and systems thinking—and consider how love might become a more intentional design principle for the futures we create.
