We are delighted to welcome Pete Fung, a social designer and researcher based in Eindhoven, as a guest speaker at our community workshop. Pete will share insights from his ongoing research and invite discussion on how design festivals can be reimagined to become more sustainable, inclusive, and better rooted in their local contexts.
During the afternoon, we will explore what makes Southern Sweden Design Days unique and identify key themes and opportunities for the next edition in 2027. How can the festival continue to evolve and grow stronger? We look forward to meeting, exchanging ideas, and co-creating — together, we set the direction for the future.
