Day 3 of the Design for Equity | Conscious NYC | Conscious Cities Festival 2020 event series, will be: Creating Equitable Wellness Spaces.

Series of Presentation – Inequity and Solutions in Wellness and Healthcare | 2:00 - 3:00pm

2020 was not an easy year. In the era of COVID-19, racial injustice, political unrest, humanitarian crises, and climate change, we face increasing mental and physical health risks now more than ever. Depression, social-isolation, and stress are indicators that our heslthcare systems, wellness spaces, and cities must take a pro-active role in supporting our wellbeing. Day 3 of the NYC festival will focus on how to create the conditions for wellbeing to become a priority in how we approach healthcare spaces, programs, and policies.

See the lineup of speakers below.

Design for Equity | Conscious NYC | CCF 2020 | October 19th-22nd

“Equality does not see colour, therefore, contributes to privilege. Equity sees colour, recognizes systemic forms of racism and actively provides resources to level the playing field” ― Sope Agbelusi

“Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.”― James Baldwin

These quotes help us frame the dialogue and the flow of ideas we will explore in this year’s festival: How to recognize, discuss, and ultimately address racial equity issues in different experiences: governance, education, healthcare, and neighborhoods.

We intend to use this festival as a live experiment, to abstract key metrics and work towards the first real indicator of socio-economic equity.
