Zeste: a source for innovative health and sustainability driven initiatives

Design like a beaver

Design like a beaver (La méthode castor) is an educational and community outreach programme designed to inform, inspire and empower place-based transformative collaborations & action(ism) through promoting creative confidence, empathy for all life, bioregional wisdom, & collective imagination.

It aims to nurture a creative and democratic practice of diagnosis and problem solving though the device of a practical framework and a set of regenerative principles and tools.

Why the beaver? Beavers are curious, social and resilient beings that hold the secrets and wisdom of regenerative practice. They lead by example, having 33 million years of experience as a keystone species.

The beaver as a storyteller aims to create a wise but playful ambassador for nature; allowing us to collectively address humans in an optimistic, constructive and non-judgmental tone.

The concept has been developed in partnership with teachers, local stakeholders and specialists in design for social innovation and sustainability.

Regenerative design for innovative learning and thinking

People & Places

A social research toolkit designed in the form of a board game. Its objective is to provide, in a ludic and interactive way, a unique glimpse into a senior person’s daily life.

Available both for health professionals & social workers as well as other intermediary contacts, the game serves as a support to create meaningful dialogue with seniors and better understand their social, emotional, physical and practical needs. The aim is to empower people as they get older to co-design their own social participation solutions and promote intergenerational solidarity.

People & Places was a winner of the 5th edition of the Silver Surfer ‘call for projects’ organized by Eurasanté and was showcased during the Lille World Design Capital in 2020.

The art of resilience café

It is often very difficult for stoke survivors and their families to express themselves about their condition, experiences, fears, needs and hopes. ‘The art of resilience café’ offers them a safe, friendly and informal physical environment conducive for peer-to-peer gatherings, conversation and creativity. Over a cup of coffee and a healthy snack, participants can share information, experiences and creative ideas, as well as participate in a series of creative workshops designed to inform, engage and nurture creativity and transformative resilience.
