One Minute Brief:
Advertise the Design Council
Below is a bit of info about Design Council and here is their website. http://www.designcouncil.org.uk
The Design Council champions great design. For us that means design which improves lives and makes things better.
As an enterprising charity, our work places design at the heart of creating value by stimulating innovation in business and public services, improving our built environment and tackling complex social issues such as ageing and obesity.
We inspire new design thinking, encourage public debate and inform government policy to improve everyday life and help meet tomorrow’s challenges today.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Design Council have also invited us and our followers to take part in their latest project.
See below for details. Well worth getting involved in as successful applications could receive financial investment of up to £180,000 along with expert support and mentoring. Statement from Design Council below.
Today’s One Minute Brief aims to get you excited about a much bigger opportunity, the latest open innovation challenge from the Design Council, ‘the Knee High project’. Thanks so much for taking part.
If you enjoy todays One Minute Brief then maybe you would like to consider applying for the Knee High Design Challenge:
We are asking for radical new ideas that can make a real difference to the health and wellbeing of children living in Southwark and Lambeth. The briefs below address some interrelated themes so we will welcome ideas that fit across, between, or even outside of them. Use them to inspire your thinking. We remain completely open about what the end result will look like, e.g. new service, product, environment, or something else.
1. Leaving the house
Connect more families to people and places beyond the boundaries of their home.
2. Day-to-day play
Make it possible for more young children to learn and develop in their everyday lives.
3. A parent is a person
Alleviate the stress, anxiety, and depression experienced by parents during the ups and downs of everyday life.
To apply to the Knee High design challenge, clearly explain your idea on our online application form, by the 30th of September. After the first round, approximately 20 shortlisted entrants will gain support and funding to test ideas with local families. For lots more information, download the Call for Ideas PDF - www.designcouncil.org.uk/kneehighproject or check out the blog: http://thekneehighproject.com/
Any questions? kneehigh@designcouncil.org.uk or come down to our pop-up-shop in Gabriel’s Wharf, Southbank, SE1 9PP on Thursday afternoons.
We look forward to hearing from you.
The Design Council, Challenges Team.
