Designing Your Life At Intersections
"INTERSECTIONS & TRANSITIONS" Series.
The talks and conversations will explore how we can design our lives in this era where disciplines, roles, education, technologies, cultures, etc. are intersecting at unprecedented levels, and creating opportunities for "transitions" at a speed never seen before.
How can we design our lives in meaningful ways so that we can navigate these intersections and create career transitions for us to remain valuable to the world, and meaningful to ourselves.
Service Design Singapore has partnered with MetaSkills Lab to curate this event.
