"Sonic seasoning" and how innovative multi-sensory experience design affects our senses and thus our decisions and behaviors.

How do you change minds and influence behaviors? How do you facilitate people to make better and more intentional decisions? Learning about human behavior and how we can inspire people to act has become widely popular in today’s society. One approach to not only talk the talk but actually walk the walk is to use behavioral design.

We are happy to announce that Whateverland will collaborate with Linköpings University to research on sound for behavioral change (”sound nudges”). The project is financed by Vinnova and will extend over two years. The overarching aim of the project is to develop knowledge about how to effectively nudge people to change their behaviors towards sustainable actions.

We have a chat with urban architect Pernilla Wåhlin Norén at Borlänge municipality about what the architecture industry is focusing on right now, how the field can be used as a tool for change, how the discipline can appeal to more senses than just sight – and more.

We are very happy to announce that Whateverland, together with scientists at Mid Sweden University, Nordic Chamber Ensemble in Västernorrland and Swedish artist Tove Berglund have been granted funding from Swedish Arts Council for a project called “Skogens berättelser” (eng. “Stories of the forest”).

Behavioral Science is 1 of 5 skills that the United Nations (2.0) will upskill to drive true sustainable transformation going forward. This was presented in their policy document (nr. 11) "Quintet of Change"
