Top 50 Farmers Online Recognition Ceremony

Challenge
Top 50 Farmers set out to do something that had never been done before: bring together, recognise, and celebrate a diverse group of regenerative farmers from across Europe—and do it all online. The challenge was twofold: to create a virtual ceremony that felt personal and powerful for the farmers themselves, and to offer an experience compelling enough to engage a broader public audience, including journalists, supporters, and stakeholders. It needed to feel like a true milestone moment for the farmers—something they would remember, and something others would talk about.
Approach
As the lead designer and facilitator of the recognition ceremony, I focused on creating a two-part experience: the first hour was a closed session for the farmers to connect, reflect, and meet their peers; the second opened the space to the public for celebration, storytelling, and visibility. I blended structured intimacy with spontaneous joy—using music, chat check-ins, visual storytelling, live gratitude, and co-created rituals to ensure that every farmer felt recognized not just for what they produce, but for who they are. My role was to hold space, design flow, and spark interaction—turning a Zoom event into a collective memory.
LifeRamp Online experiential events partner

World Olympics Association Empower yourself for Societal Impact Workshop
As part of the workshop Olympians were provided a digital workbook that allowed them to capture their insights.
Challenge
Ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the World Olympics Association aimed to engage both competing and past Olympians, providing support for their transition after their careers. While an on-site OLY house offered various workshops for those present in Paris, they wanted to extend this support to the many Olympians watching from home around the world.
Approach
NeedWorkshops was invited to design an online workshop as part of the e-OLY house, an immersive space for remote Olympians. The 90-minute session was centered around Ikigai, the Japanese concept of finding purpose, guiding Olympians to reflect on their values, skills, and how they can transition into their next chapter. The workshop also provided an opportunity for Olympians to connect with others navigating similar transitions, fostering a sense of shared experience and community.
SUEZ Well-being strategy workshop
Challenge
The SUEZ DSNA team set out to co-create a well-being strategy that reflects the realities of a fully remote, global team. The challenge was to meaningfully engage a diverse group of colleagues—many of whom had never met—across different time zones, roles, and levels of exposure to well-being initiatives. The session needed to build connection, surface insights, and generate a shared sense of ownership over the strategy's direction.
Approach
As the facilitator, I designed a 3-hour online workshop that combined visioning, structured collaboration, and playful reflection. We used creative tools like the Cover Story method and a strategy relay to spark imagination and turn ideas into action. Participants shaped a draft strategy rooted in Gallup’s Five Elements of Well-Being, while also building trust and connection across the team. My role was to guide the design and facilitation of the session, ensuring it generated meaningful input toward a clear, actionable 3-year well-being strategy.
