Distributed Design Platform from Fab Lab Barcelona hosts a co-design workshop to discover and recognise "weak signals." These signals often have minimal present impact but the potential to cause significant impact on future events. A great reason to detect them while they are still weak! We invite you to a playful and imaginative session to expand our minds towards possible new futures. The interdisciplinary session will use future-thinking tools and a collaborative approach to critically reflect on the existing weak signals and co-design a new set of cards. The workshop aims to explore the impact of design practice on our complex present through a practical and hands-on approach.

Participants are invited to bring at least one magazine and any printed material that can be cut out.

In this talk, the Distributed Design team will be presenting the Distributed Design Platform and its core values that are driving a novel approach to design, in turn inviting designers, makers, and creatives to innovate the field of design towards exploring and identifying futures values.

The Distributed Design Platform was established in 2017, co-funded by the Creative Europe program of the European Union. It brings together a diverse member-base from cultural and creative institutions, providing Europe-wide programming and opportunities to support emerging creatives working in the emerging field of Distributed Design.
