Circular Design Workshop (2 live online modules)

The workshop is delivered in 2 modules:

Module 1: 22 June – 9am to 12pm

Module 2: 29 June – 9am to 12pm

Circular Design is a fundamental enabler for organisations to transition into the circular economy. It delivers desirable, feasible and viable solutions that design out waste and pollution from the outset, keep products and materials in use for as long as possible and regenerate natural systems along the way.

In this workshop, you will work in a cross-industry and multi-disciplinary environment to learn about a new business paradigm, understand how circular economy unlocks value across people, planet and business and practice circular design.

Mixing theory, circular success stories and practical application, you will deep dive into what circular economy is, explore a range of industries at a systemic level, identify current challenges and impacts across people, planet and profit. You will use practical tools to re-design products, processes and business models in a circular way. Finally, you will identify what needs to be done to move into implementation.

We will be honoured to be joined by Yasmin Grigaliunas, CEO & Co-founder of World’s Biggest Garage Sale. Yas will be our inspiring guest speaker to share their circular journey, challenges and opportunities.

“Thank you for a very informative and enjoyable workshop. It was quite fulfilling to see a room full of professionals with the same passion and purpose as I, to transform the way we work (individually, through businesses and governments) for the betterment of society and environment.

It gave me that extra strength when I learnt that we are facing the same / similar road blocks and challenges with implementing circular design in to our corporations / our careers / daily life.
Your workshop inspired me to keep trying and go hard at making the transition to be in a position where I’m contributing daily for people, planet and profit. Thank you Jenni!!”

Not only was it a very comprehensive induction into different circular techniques but also included a fantastic overview of available resources, enabling participants to apply the new-found knowledge. Jenni is a wonderful facilitator – she is not only super passionate about her work but also highly insightful and excellent in guiding Design Thinking / Circular Economy ‘newbies’ through the process & helping them find their voice. It has been amazing to see what great work can be produced in such a short time – kudos to Jenni for inspiring us to think differently”
