Our 5th annual Practivism event will celebrate the impact that storytelling has on attracting, communicating and mobilizing some serious change. The Society of Graphic Designers Canada, BC Chapter (GDC/BC) has invited three creative thought leaders to inspire others to use their design-thinking powers to promote progressive social, economic and environmental initiatives.
Erica Priggen (Free Range Studios), Lorne Craig (Unicycle Creative) and Dawn Danby (Autodesk's Sustainability Workshop) will share their unique stories and insights followed by a lively panel discussion. Learn how graphic design is creating value and activating meaningful (and sustainable) change. Get inspired and connect with like-minded changemakers!
*Practivism = Practical methods for radical sustainability in design
