Redesigning birth care through social dreaming.
Social dreaming
If we design our care systems based on what we know, we miss the potential of the unknown. Social dreaming enhances healthcare innovation by uniting diverse perspectives and tapping into collective knowledge.
Fresh perspectives on birth care
By starting with the future as a reference point, we are encouraged to think beyond current limitations and conventional norms. This forward-looking approach sparks creativity and imagination and offers fresh perspectives on birth.
Towards an ecosystem of care
Social dreaming in perinatal care envisions integrated services, community involvement, innovative care models, and technology to design an ecosystem of care that is holistic, human-centered, and responsive to the diverse needs of expectant parents, newborns, and families.
Proud to present:
Birth Futures Zine
-
Birth Futures blends traditional workshop techniques with innovative, arts-based practices to guide groups through an immersive journey of exploration and co-creation.
-
Explore three innovative future scenarios that extrapolate developments in birth care, from cyborg babies to birthing communities and midwives as portals.
-
We will share the findings of our three workshops in the Netherlands, Peru and India.
-
Be inspired by four stories that emerged from the workshops and that have been moulded into speculative short fictions about birth in 2100.
