Brew & Brainstorm: Design Thinking for Sustainability

Brew & Brainstorm: Design Thinking for Sustainability
Got a sustainability question you can't stop thinking about? An idea you'd like to test, or a challenge from your work or daily life? Bring it along.
Brew & Brainstorm is a relaxed, participant-led coffee session. You set the agenda. There are no slides and no lectures. Just curious people, good coffee, and conversations that actually go somewhere.
How it works
☕ Arrive & connect (10 min): Grab a coffee and meet the group.
💡 Share your topics (10 min): Everyone writes down one or two sustainability topics they want to explore. These can be climate, circular economy, fashion, supply chains, green careers, everyday habits, policy, or anything else.
🗳️ Vote (5 min): The group picks the topics with the most energy.
🔄 Design-thinking rounds (2–3 x 15 min): For each topic, we use simple design thinking steps:

Understand: What's really going on? Who is affected?
Reframe: What's the core challenge?
Ideate: What could we do differently, as individuals, organizations, or communities?

✨ Takeaways (10 min): Each person shares one insight or one action they'll try.

Who should join
Anyone curious about sustainability is welcome: professionals, students, entrepreneurs, career changers, or people who simply care. No expertise is needed, only an open mind and a willingness to share.
