We recently collaborated with Strategy and Innovation Advisor and member of The Now Work Serena Bonomi to help one of the UK's largest homeware retailers explore the future of circular homeware. Serena pivoted her career from design to sustainable innovation over 7 years ago. Since then she's been teaching circular economy to designers, innovators and product managers, as well as recruiting and mentoring talent looking to make the switch. Her advice to those looking to forge a path in this area is first to uncover your values and super skills, and identify the sustainability contribution you want to make. Along with Perle Laouenan-Catchpole, she'll be running a workshop to help more people find the sweet spot between their existing design skills and the climate impact they're hoping to make. From UX to fashion design, industrial or service design, whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, join them to explore how you can drive positive change through your design career: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dH55GXVR 📆 4th June 2024 ⏰ 4-6pm CET / 3-5pm BST / 10am-12pm ET / 7-9am PT

Had an amazing experience at the "Harness the Power of Community for Workplace Sustainability" workshop last week! 😃 Drew Wilkinson and Perle Laouenan-Catchpole led an engaging and insightful masterclass on community organizing, volunteer management, and influencing without authority. 👏 Their expertise and passion for #sustainability shone through as they shared practical strategies and real-world case studies. Highly recommend this workshop for anyone kickstarting their green community programs. #CommunityBuilding ✅

Serena, how can I work on climate as a designer? Can you share your career experience into circular economy? Over the past 7+ years since starting my climate career, I get asked these question on a weekly basis. The truth is that, as a designer, you already have key skills to contribute to climate, and, while inspiring, my personal experience might not be directly applicable to you. I’ve been teaching circular economy to designers, innovators and product managers, as well as recruiting and mentoring talent looking to do the switch… what I have noticed is that this personal path can be designed by uncovering your values, your super skills and identifying what is the sustainability contribution you want to make. 💫 I’m teaming up with amazing Perle Laouenan-Catchpole to bring to life a workshop that helps designers to align their career with sustainability and impact. From UX to fashion design, industrial or service design, whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, join us to explore how you can drive positive change through your design career! 🔗 https://shorturl.at/rtM27 📅 4th June ⏰ 4- 6pm CET 💰 Please note that this is an event with ethical pricing model Sign up, share with someone else that might be interested, and/or comment and repost to help us spread the word!📢 #circulareconomy #thepowerofdesign #impactcareer #needworkshops

When it comes to Sustainability we need a diversity of actors. A diversity of thought. But, as Marine Cornelis explains the elephant in the room is language. Different languages bring different mindsets. They bring nuance. Different perspectives. Currently, most of the discussions on international platforms about the solutions we need to implement, most of those conversations are happening in English. Are we losing something by speaking English? Are there voices that are unheard because people are unable to express themselves in English? We invite you to unfold these questions with us on the 14th of March during the next NeedWorkshops open space gathering.
