Led by UNHCR Innovation, this is a dynamic, interactive workshop with a practical, tangible outcome. You’ll be challenged to solve a refugee/migrant challenge using human-centered design and prototyping tools. Come prepared to think, design, draw, interact, and problem-solve.
UNHCR Innovation is a new unit set up at the U.N. Refugee Agency to facilitate innovative approaches to refugee protection and assistance. The Unit works collaboratively with refugees, academia, and the private sector to creatively address the challenges of uprooted or stateless people worldwide; whether it’s co-developing mobile tracking technology for distributing supplies with UPS, or applying IKEA’s flat-pack principles to designing shelter.
