WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?

The digital knowledge you'll receive

This year The Greater Number will be the subject of Dutch Design Week (DDW). With this theme DDW strives for a social and behavioral change among consumers and producers: less consumption and more sustainable products with more value. The share of digital media in this behavioral change is extremely large. So do the speakers of our annual special DDW edition know. WWF (WNF), for example, contributes to this change with their own voice app, while Fashion for Good created a brand new platform for sustainable fashion innovation. Finally there’s Owow. As an agency they make a positive impact on the world with cases they lead.

Speakers of these organizations will tell you (in English) all about how they made a positive impact on the world and its people with digital media, design and technology. From another angle, but all with the same goal. At the end of the evening you will be full of inspiration.

Come join this Digital Wednesday edition on the 20th of October! Due to the expanded COVID-19 guidelines, we will welcome everyone at our good old DW spot: Igluu in Eindhoven! To enter Igluu, it is mandatory to have a valid QR code in the Dutch CoronaCheck-app. In case you haven’t, you can join the livestream (check one of our social accounts just before the start of Digital Wednesday for the link).

We will celebrate the fact that we finally are able to meet in person again with some drinks and our beloved Dutch bitterballen. You do not want to miss out on that, obviously.

SOCIAL CHANGE THROUGH DIGITAL MEDIA

Our speakers

Bas Ploeg is one of the two founders of Animalvoice.io, a young start-up developing interactive AI-powered voice apps, designed to educate the next generation about wildlife conservation. Together with WWF-NL Animalvoice.io developed a Rangers quiz, a bunch of funny animal stories and various daily questions – all to teach families with children about the wonders of the natural world. Bas will tell you all about it.

Jana van den Bergen is an Innovation Associate at Fashion for Good. On the one hand Fashion for Good connects fashion innovators with huge fashion brands and on the other hand they try to move consumers by running the world’s only sustainable fashion museum. Jana will introduce you to some interesting cases, based on digital technologies and innovation.

Pieter-Jan Pieters is CO-CEO & Founder at OWOW. He will share the story about Klabu, a social start-up with a scalable business model to power positive change. They build sports clubs in refugee camps and create sportswear for the world. OWOW created an app which shows real-time how donated sports equipment is used in refugee camps, to show more transparency, to show the good evolution in the camps and to remove the gap and mistrust that sometimes prevails. Pieter-Jan will also share how these kinds of projects are used to improve the mental health of employees.
