Dott Festival | Day 2

I spent Day 2 wondering around the project spaces of Design of Sexual Health (DaSH) and Alzheimer 100.

If there is one thing that I can say to any visitor going to the Dott Festival, it would be to talk to the Dott Crew at each project space. I can't stress this enough (even I needed some things clarified!) because if you don't, you might miss out on really understanding what the project is all about.

And if you want an even deeper understanding of the project and the issues around it, you must attend the Dott Debates. They bring deeper insights, understanding and richness to each project. The Debates are also a great place to network, bring ideas to the table and find out more on what we can do next.
