Bansko Nomad Fest Speaker

Piera Mattioli

How can we design and lead engaging online workshops that truly activate participants and move change one step further? In this talk, we’ll explore online collaboration as a core leadership skill — one that enables stakeholders to feel onboard, engaged, and co-owners of the process rather than passive attendees. We’ll cover the different purposes a workshop can serve, how to structure and design a meaningful collaborative journey, and how to use visualization to make sessions both engaging and effective. We’ll also dive into the power of micro-interactions as key elements to sustain energy, encourage participation, and ensure every voice has space to be heard.

Piera Mattioli is a passionate human-centred designer, social innovator, storyteller and collaborative artist with 10+ years of experience reframing challenges into opportunities and co-creating innovative and socially impactful solutions. From rural India to Amsterdam, and from grassroots communities to global innovation teams, she has helped design, prototype, and launch early-stage innovations across sectors like sustainable agriculture, health, education, tourism, and sport.
