projects
Design for social innovation can find in the design schools a major driver for its application and diffusion. In fact, design schools can orient their didactic and research activities towards social innovation. They can become design laboratories where new visions are generated, new tools are defined and tested and where new projects are started and supported.
WE CAN PROMOTE YOUR project
Today, social innovation is generating a constellation of small initiatives. Every month we will update the Projects of the month section and your project could be featured! Don’t forget to keep updating your DESIS Lab page with your projects, so that we can see them and promote them.
