Stop fixing symptoms. Start building new worlds.

Dit event is in het Engels, dus de tekst hier ook — wel zo makkelijk. We all talk about system change instead of patching partial solutions for major societal challenges. But where to start? The entanglement of climate, care, social inequality and technology seems too complex to unravel.

Everyone has reinvented their reality at some point. Sometimes consciously, often without noticing. But how does radical change really take off? And why shouldn’t this be the new normal – acknowledging the entanglement of all resources, building worlds in which old problems simply stop making sense?

At this Innovation Café we go beyond quick fixes. Together with Janne Brok and Petra Janssen, we’ll explore how patterns of change and meaningful design can strengthen each other. Because imagination is one thing – but only in practice does transformation truly take shape.

Join us for a thought-provoking edition of the EHV Innovation Café featuring:

Janne Brok – Revealing patterns of radical change: The Vacation Logic framework
Petra Janssen – Meaningful Design Doing instead of Thinking

Together, we’ll explore how radical change can move beyond quick fixes – and become the new normal. This is how imagination becomes concrete and socially relevant.

Whether you’re a tech builder, designer, social innovator, policy maker, educator, or simply a curious thinker or do-er — this is your space to listen, learn and connect. Expect sharp insights, personal reflections, and an open, safe space for conversation. We are Inclusive by Default and Give to Grow. The Future is Radical Imagination in Action.

Moderated by Charlotte Grün

Janne Brok
Revealing patterns of radical change
Co-founder Bureau WO, co-creator Vacation Logic, believes that everyone can learn the “how” of radical change. She developed a scientific model showing that radical change is not that complicated. According to her, it always follows the same pattern – whether for an individual or for a society. The key: imagination. Think of holidays: suddenly we live in a completely different way, and yet it feels natural.
Petra Janssen
Meaningful Design Doing instead of Thinking
Co-founder Studio Boot & Social Label, creates work and products in collaboration with communities that cannot easily participate in society. She brings these insights into practice with Social Label. Not by staying stuck in “design thinking”, but through “design doing”: creating safe havens and meaningful products for people who would otherwise be left out.

Radical change starts with imagination – and action
