#IDSP16 Fellowship Launches with First Meeting

#IDSP16Last Tuesday, the new cohort of seven #IDSP16 fellows got together for the first time. They shared stories about the origin of their names, and then used the Narrative4 frame work to introduce each other using the first person. Fellows then went on partner walks in dark Monterey (around 7pm – thanks, Day Light Savings Time!). When they came back they were asked to represent their experience using markers, post-its, paper, scissors, legos, or anything else they could find in the DLC’s Design Sp@ce. (Check out the photo collage for a glimpse into their creations.)

We’re really excited to unveil this year’s group who were selected from more than 20 applicants! #IDSP16 fellows will be traveling to Brazil, Nepal, South Africa, Mexico, Chile, Madrid, Panama, and lovely Monterey, California over J-term.  Stay tuned to the blog for updates from the field, and what stories begin to emerge from fellows’ time around the world. For now, check out the profiles of the seven new fellows!
