Panel discussion
summary
Panelists argue that COVID accelerates shifts that were already happening and cite a concrete project: connected retail that plugs physical stores into Zalando to keep shops trading during lockdowns. Shadowing and apprenticeships appear as practical hiring tools, creative confidence grows through workshops and pair design, and a side project called Make It Pop Kickstarter actually funds and fulfills orders. Reported harms from Instagram prompt reference to a BBC feature questioning young people s social media use.
