On Monday morning, we kept a low pace agenda to allow all the travelling participants to arrive at their convenience and not miss our check-in activity. In the afternoon we dived into understanding humanitarian challenges to understand how problems are intertwined.

To accommodate everyone's schedules, we welcomed participants to CERN IdeaSquare throughout the morning, providing badges, storing luggage, and offering tours of the CERN campus. Once all participants had arrived, we gathered at the CERN restaurant for introductions.

It was important for us to find a location that wasn’t labeled “design” or “humanitarian”. CERN IdeaSquare played a role in attracting a wide diversity of participants and offered a “neutral” ground to bring all backgrounds and expertise together. IdeaSquare, as the innovation space at CERN, is using similar collaboration approaches in building bridges between domains and disciplines. With that said, it offered the perfect playground for us to hold our very first event, holding true to Ideasquare’s experimental essence.

To kickstart this three-day event, we had a round presentation of all the participants and team members; we shared the agenda and some guidelines about the space; a presentation of Humanitarian Designers; we introduced the graphic recorder; and mentioned a few words about the diverse meanings of “practice” and “design”.

At the end of the round of presentations, we also presented a resting room and our “awareness person”: a staff from CERN IdeaSquare -not involved in the event- that could be contacted at any point if there was a concern to share.
