The document outlines an agenda for a design curation workshop conducted by UX Desi. The workshop includes exercises in observation, imagination, and systemization. In observation, participants do role-playing and observer reports without using Google. In imagination, they connect dots creatively and do team canvassing. In systemization, they study case studies and business models. The goal is to promote design awareness through multidisciplinary collaboration.
