[lang_en]ECO QUESTions – Brainstorming workshop for Eco Design Fair
Time: Wednesday, April 3, 2013. 6:45 – 8:15
Venue: Xindanwei, 50 Yongja Road, Shanghai
Register: Here
The annual Eco Design Fair is a non-profit community event that brings together businesses with products and services relating to ecodesign, environmental NGOs, the scientific and arts communities and the general public for a weekend of learning about innovative designs and ideas originating in Shanghai.
Workshop Aim:
A key criteria for exhibitors to participate in the fair is that they value open dialogue about ecodesign. To symbolize this, each exhibitor’s booth will be decorated with a question about their product or services relating to ecodesign. Through friendly discussion and focused teamwork this workshopwill generate questions for display at the fair that are compelling and engaging enough to intrigue the public.
Workshop Structure:
Led by experts in supply chain consulting, eco-ratings, and consumer reports, workshop participants will be assigned one or two businesses to briefly research in order to devise a compelling question.
These can be hard questions about possibly toxic ingredients, “soft-ball” questions about the advantages of certain design features etc.
Each question will be written out in Chinese and English on fun banners to be displayed at the booth of the respective business/ organization on the day of the fair.
Enjoy casual conversation with a friendly mix of people involved in environmental advocacy and social enterprise. While you’re here pick up your Evergreen Badge.[/lang_en]

工作坊目的：
每年一度的上海生态环保设计展对参展者的主要参考依据是，参展者对生态环保设计开放对话的重视程度。为了凸显这点，每张展台都将产生一个关于他们环保产品或服务的问题。通过交流沟通和团队活动，对大众具有说服力和吸引力的问题会在工作坊过程中产生并展现在活动现场。
工作坊架构：
由供应链专业顾问、环保品级和消费者报告的协助下，每个参展组织分派一至二位人员在工作坊进行简短的调研，以便最终产生服众的问题。
问题可以尖锐敏感，例如潜在的有毒物质，也可以是温和的问题，例如某件设计特点的优势，等等。
每个问题将分别用中文和英文写在横幅上，并且在各自展台前展示。
无论是环保拥护者或者社会企业，尽情享受与各路大众的随性交流！现场勿忘抽取你的环保劵！[/lang_cn]
