We all have the power to impact positive social change, but how can we collaboratively influence making Perth a healthy and more thriving society for all?
Design Thinking is a human centred approach to solving complex problems. The Rotary of Elizabeth Quay is pleased to present the first in a series of three follow-up Design Thinking Conventions. In this session we will focus on homelessness.
This interactive learning experience will bring together business, philanthropists, government, not-for-profits and social entrepreneurs to purposefully apply design thinking methodology to develop inspiring yet achievable solutions that will help the homeless of Perth.
