Innovation from the Margins: How Poverty Sparks Ingenuity

Join us for a bold conversation on how creativity and design thinking are driving grassroots innovation around the world—especially in places often overlooked.

Discover how the Chalmers Center (www.chalmers.org) is equipping local leaders to spark change from within, using a faith-based, asset-based approach.

We’ll explore practical tools like the 9-week Design Journey and train-the-trainer models, and share real stories of communities solving their own challenges with their own resources.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why people closest to the problem must be part of the design team

  • How to scale impact with simple, empowering tools

  • Why innovation isn’t limited to “creatives”—everyone can be a problem-solver

  • What it looks like when joy and dignity drive change

Let’s reimagine innovation—starting at the margins.
