Creative Dundee

Make/Share meets Boost by Design

Make/Share meets Boost by Design: a discussion about design, digital innovation and community building.

Make/Share is a free monthly night, bringing people together to gain a behind the scenes insight into the processes of the speakers, held on the second Wednesday of each month.

We’re delighted that at this month’s event on 14th June (7 – 9pm) at The Beer Kitchen Dundee, there is a special social enterprise and design focus. We invite you to join us and take part in the discussion about how creativity can help build social impact, over a drink and a snack! Featuring talks by the social enterprises who have been part of the Boost by Design project this year, we will also be speaking about some of the findings from the project.

Speakers will talk about their experience of working in a social enterprise as well as the impact BOOST by Design has had on their projects. Through this event we hope to continue the conversation about how the creative and social enterprise sectors can work more collaboratively in future, this event is open to anyone interested in these topics. After the talks there’s time for questions and the opportunity to share any news you want.

During this special Make/Share meets Boost by Design event we’ll also have extra refreshments for you to enjoy.

BOOST by Design is a project for Dundee’s social enterprises from varied backgrounds who are keen to develop their understanding of service design, innovation and digital skills. Working with Dundee Social Enterprise Network, Boost by Design has supported 14 early stage social enterprises who could benefit from gaining a better understanding of service design, digital innovation and community building. Boost by Design is run in association with local partners, including Open Change, who are well regarded for their service design approaches, and Slurpp. The project has only been made possible thanks to valuable Rank Foundation support.

You can read about some of our different sessions here – Introduction to service design thinking, here – Defining the problems and generating new ideas, here – Visioning the future of your social enterprise and here – Building communities online!
