Design Academy Eindhoven:
Our Way Conference
On the 7th of September, the opening of a new
academic year, we will discuss how empathy can play a role in the future
of design education with lectures, debates, more then 10 workshops and
by sharing good food!
Workshop: Empathy 2.0
With a focus on where compassionate communication and
mediation are headed as they pertain to the current and future states of
the online world, Darci Shaver and Edwin Rutsch explore concepts of
connecting with others in cutting edge and empathic ways. This workshop
will delve into current comprehensions of apathy, anonymity,
empathy, compassion, and altruism as they apply to online living. Expect
a short story or two, some Q &A, a few interesting empathy ʻtestsʼ to
participate in and lots of interesting discussion.
