Entertaining Health
Sustainability through the management of physical & psychological risks

Workshop Session

This workshop session will examine the current challenges organizations and individuals are facing. By using the lens of physical and psychological safety, participants will explore tools that can be used to mitigate physical and psychological risks caused by many of the structural challenges we all face.

The workshop will facilitate the development of micro-disruptions that participants can implement in their communities, tailored to their current circumstances. Micro-disruptions are a series of small changes that can be implemented at the individual, organizational, or community level within the context and circumstances that already exist. Their effect is cumulative, building sustainably over time to effect change.

The entertainment world is changing. To ensure the sustainability and growth of our own careers and organizations in the future, we must explore new ways of thinking and operating without minimizing the knowledge and expertise that has sustained us in the past.
