The final of our four planned Sprints was on the theme Catalyse. Design is fundamentally about making – giving form to ideas and showing people what a new vision can look and feel like. It’s essential to test how these ideas work in practice and how they connect with other designed interventions.

Although the sprint was cut short due to Storm Eowyn, we took the opportunity to reschedule Day 2. On 25th March, we hosted a facilitated workshop using the Three Horizons methodology, led by H3Uni. This session aimed to accelerate the work of the policy labs by surfacing key patterns and exploring the broader implications of the Design HOPES big policy picture.
