This is a community event of the Singapore Design Week 2023Advancements in the digital realm have made it possible to implement strategies that are all-encompassing and readily accessible. For the duration of 4.5 hours, the “Experiential Design for Mental Health” workshop by the Society of Experiential Graphic Design (SEGD) will invite attendees to design hybrid and phygital solutions that address Mental Health (anxiety). The design-centric workshop will extend its participants’ reach to health-related professionals and ground-up communities. Attendees will be able to engage in a diverse mix of active participants which include: • Drivers, consisting of predominantly people of the public sector or directly impacted by regulations. • Enablers, defined as representatives of targeted Mental Wellness community groups.• Do-ers, who are ground-up stewards making a difference in their capacityThis convergence of top-down agencies and bottom-up initiatives will result in a holistic co-authored proposal meant to be received by relevant governing bodies.---Workshop Details---2 PM - 2:15 PM - Welcome Note by Super Moderators (15 minutes)An introductory note by SEGD Singapore Co-chairs, Olha Romaniuk and Yann Follain, and venue host representative as well as third Super Moderator, Andy Brahney, co-founder of SMART Futures at Ramboll, will kickstart the workshop. The sequence of the workshop beginning first with a World Cafe-styled discussion, to the final objective of a well-conceived proposal outline, will be detailed. 2:15 PM - 3:15 PM - Dynamic “World Cafe” Discussion (60 minutes)Attendees will then break up into small groups of up to 7 active participants per table to commerce addressing the 4 questions by the Super Moderators. The small groups will rotate 4 times and the participants reshuffled at each round.The four questions will be structured to initiate design provocations in the areas of: 1. Current healthcare operating infrastructures2. Accessibility through sensory experiences and activations3. User creative interaction as a positive recovery engagement 4. Optimising spatial experiential value through reactive digital means 5. Anxiety/stress-inducing factors in the built environment6. Strategies to fill in the gaps within current approaches to designing spaces with considerations for mental healthThe group discussion will be guided by pre-selected Facilitating Moderators who are professionals in the Mental Health industry such as in the area of Psychiatric studies. In addition, Super Moderators will initiate preventive discussions in innovating strategies to fill the gaps in designing spaces with considerations for mental healthResponses will contribute to the next segment of the workshop. 3:15 PM - 3:35 PM - Active Break led by Facilitating Moderators (Light refreshments provided) (20 minutes)During this, Super Moderators will collate the gathered responses to structure the 3 Main Challenges for the 2nd half of the workshop. 3:35 PM - 5:05 PM - Addressing the 3 Main Challenges (90 minutes)Participants will form a total of 3 Teams that will be led by one Super Moderator and assisted by Facilitating Moderators. Based on the defined challenge, they will innovate solutions that exemplify the principles of “Human Interaction Design” which are: • Human with Nature • Human-to-Human• Human to TechnologyEach team will be given about 30 min to explore solutions for the allocated challenge and formulate their quick-fire presentations for their designed solution. After which, each team will present their ideas in a 10 min elevated pitch + 10 min Q&A with the floor. The 3 presentations + Q&A will total to 60min. 5:05 PM - 5:25 PM - Active Break led by Facilitating Moderators (20 minutes) In 20 minutes, Super Moderators will consolidate key findings and insights for the final portion of the workshop. 5:25 PM - 6:10 PM - Active Conclusions (45 minutes)In line with the programming momentum of the workshop, Super Moderators will flash out the cumulated strategies for the participants' consensus and final inputs. These will contribute to the outline of the final proposal that will be sent to relevant governing bodies. The resultant proposal will demonstrate an aligned convergence of active ground-up stewardship with top-down policies to better initiate subsequent plans of action. This will inform and support implementations that resonate and serve the communities better. 6:10 PM - 6:30 PM Additional Wrap-up time to address remaining questions and mini feedback/networking session. * This workshop is designed to welcome everyone from varied backgrounds, and disciplines, and with different degrees of experiential design understanding. We have included in our list of Facilitating Moderators, Psychologists, and Medical Practitioners to be part of this workshop.
