Class Description

Description

Join the Un-School of Disruptive Design for a full day interactive workshop that dives deep into the psychological, behavioural, economic and social conditions that affect, challenge and promote change - social, cultural and behavioural. Your Brain on Change is an experiential conversation led by Leyla Acaroglu, a sociologist, sustainability expert and award winning designer that actively explores limits, issues, opportunities and theories on change.

Participants will explore change as it relates to the self and to society at large as they are guided in uncovering unbeknownst limitations in their own brain and, zooming out, are led to understand how the world around us is constantly changing.

About the Workshop

Our full day workshops include a full catered vegetarian lunch and take home resource pack. This is a small group workshop so places are very limited, we keep them small so that everyone has the chance to get the maximum benefit from our facilitators. For every class we offer 1 or 2 scholarships based on need, please go to our website to complete an application for this. 

The Workshop Content

  • Part 1: Combining narratives and activations, the first session of Your Brain on Change covers an introduction to historical and contemporary change theories, including behaviour change, social practices and norms.
  • Part 2: Your Brain on Change Session 2 will take you for a trip through the many important scientific understandings of human cognitive experiences related to change. From behavioural studies to economics, sociology and psychology, this session is a must for any change maker looking to get a grip on the contemporary understandings of human experience.
  • Part 3: The third and final instalment of the Your Brain On Change series zeroes in on the limitations of targeting behaviour change as opposed to systems change. Attendees will be guided to explore the fascinating ways our brains use autopilot to reduce energy use (and thus change us without us knowing) and the ways that we can creatively influence change.
