The Institute of Design Innovation (InDI) at The Glasgow School of Art is pleased to announce the call for participation for the inaugural Wellbeing by Design Conference. This event will take place on the 7th, 8th and 9th September 2015, in the Highland and Islands Campus, Forres, Morayshire, with Professor Irene McAra-McWilliam delivering a keynote.
The conference will bring together practitioners and researchers from Masters, Doctoral and Post-doctoral communities whose shared interests and inquiries utilise design approaches to support communities to live well. Through a lively series of presentations, discussions and exhibitions, delegates will collaboratively explore and expand the evolving definitions of 'wellbeing'. At the same time, we will consider our individual and collective experiences and how reflective practice and reflexivity can support creativity, enhance collective knowledge, and be harnessed when exploring complex social challenges.
The aim of the Wellbeing by Design conference is to provide an intimate, supportive and informal space to discuss our successes, as well as the struggles inherent in research inquiry.
We invite applicants to complete the short conference application form by 30th July 2015. The application form can be found at http://www.gsa.ac.uk/life/gsa-events/events/w/wellbeing-by-design-2015-(1)/, alongside full details of the event.
If you feel this event would be of interest to the Masters, PhD or Post-Doctoral communities in your institution, we would greatly appreciate it if any list members could forward on this call for participation.
If you have any questions please contact the team at: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. We look forward to hearing from you!
