Themes

The 5 overall challenges for the Views Summit have been identified by INDEX: from within the 5 categories of Body, Home, Work, Play & Community.

The identification has been based on research by leading experts in the 5 areas, future studies by The Arlington Institute and a survey among students from 7 design schools around the world.

The participants will select their specific focus areas for the Summit from the following overall challenges:

• Body: How we care for our personal health – e.g. our eating habits and eldercare.
• Home: How we live at home and in our cities – e.g. our personal housing and urban development.
• Work: How we work and learn – e.g. our development of workplaces and educational institutions.
• Play: How play enhances all of life – e.g. our attention to play and use of recreational tools.
• Community: How we live together sustainably – e.g. our use of resources and social well-being.
