Embassy of Health conference
From the narrative Health as a Currency, we explore how soft, immeasurable values around health can be properly taken into account when shaping our society. In the 2024 programme, we zoomed in on how design power contributes to making those soft values central.

During the conference, we will take a seat in ‘The Waiting Room’ where time does not equal money, but attention. Here, we will take the time and space to learn from each other.
Programme
After a collective kick-off, we divide into smaller groups for ‘Table Conversations’ – and get to work together. At each table, one value transition will take centre stage based on an inspiring design example. With a diverse group of people at the table, – from care providers to designers, from knowledge organisation to municipality and government – we shift our perspective to ‘soft values’. What does it take to make this happen in practice? What experimental space would help? And what would be interesting to try out at both individual and societal levels?
After this exchange of values, we all go home with new insights and perspectives on everyone’s own practice and on health in society. We close the morning together by looking back at the outcomes per table. Where is the energy and what needs room for experimentation? We will incorporate the answers to these questions in the experimentation space of the Embassy of Health programme of 2025.
