Three perspectives on tomorrow's work

The festival focuses on the world of work. At the same time, however, the organisers also want to draw visitors' attention to the links with other areas of life. This approach is reflected in the three categories TEAM, LIFE and IMPACT:

• TEAM: How can we build communities to achieve communal goals?
• IMPACT: How can we increase social impact and decrease environmental impact?
• LIFE: How can we improve health and wellbeing of workers?

Rewire: New Work modes

The presentation on the power of design presents seven scenarios to redefine the workplace as we know it.

Lars van Vianen and Chris Kievid, PowerPlant, Human Material Loop, Nino Basilashvili and Laura Papke, Every Human, Studio Alissa Nienke and Philipp Schütte will be presenting their concepts and ideas.
