Keynoting at CivicLab Symposium 2022

Derby has always impressed me, so I am delighted to have been invited by University of Derby’s Assistant Professor (Civic) Dr Rhiannon Jones for a second time to speak there as keynote - this time at CivicLab Symposium 2022, 7-8 July.

CivicLAB Symposium aims to explore, discuss and reimagine the value of creative practice to the public sphere with a special focus on the theme of ‘Designing for Civility and Cultural Impact’. The Symposium will explore how we build civic communities and how practitioners and academics create the conditions in which those communities can sustainably develop, innovate, and thrive within the social, economic, environmental, health, wellbeing and cultural challenges of the 21st century.

CivicLAB invites colleagues from higher education, the creative industry and public sector, who centre their research and teaching practice on participatory culture, creative dialogue and experiential design for social impact.

All the information you need can be found on the CivicLab site.
