Designers, entrepreneurs, organisations and people could have a huge positive impact on humanity if we channeled our skills towards helping to solve some of the big and small problems humanity faces today. We often lack the insight and direction of where to start when looking for our next product idea. Design for Humanity cards can help society to empathise with all aspects of humanity and uncover problems worth solving.
During this fast-paced workshop, we will practice our ability to empathise with people and situations that do not sit within our normal frame of reference. The workshop will be centered around how groups and individuals can use the 'Design for Humanity' cards to uncover empathy and problem. We will discuss the importance of emotional empathy and cognitive empathy during the UX design process.
