Creative Boardroom: Collaborate4Climate

Creative Boardroom: Collaborate4Climate was an innovative pilot programme, funded by Creative Ireland, that explored the climate emergency through an all-island, intergenerational lens. Pairing 25 chartered directors with 25 undergraduate NCAD and IADT students, the 5 month programme used design thinking tools to immerse participants in the circular economy and doughnut economics. In addition to shifting mindsets, participants created a broad range of solutions that could create impact in their direct spheres of influence.

To showcase the programme's journey, outputs and learnings, we designed a flexible, highly sustainable exhibition. Printing on recycled paper and innovative SB Fibre Board (which is FSC certified with negative CO2 emissions), the exhibition was our lightest build yet and 100% plastic-free. The design utilised existing colour schemes, fixtures and fittings and was designed to be reused in different locations.

The exhibition began in NCAD’s gallery in December and is currently touring businesses and organisations around Ireland, looking to educate and inspire employees around sustainable actions.
