What is a Design Jam?
A Design Jam is an interactive and creative approach to better understand, address, and collectively brainstorm solutions to complex problems. During the Design Jam, participants will engage in a series of presentations, exercises and activities focused on two specific themes:
- Mental Health
- Career Progression
How to Participate
The sessions are open to all federal public servants, however it may be of significant interest to employees identifying as Black/of African descent, members of Black employee networks and visible minority networks as well as allies wanting to contribute to the co-development of solutions for the event themes. Therefore, registration will be open to all public servants from February 1 to February 4, 2022.
