Designing for social innovation

How to design for social innovation?

While it seems like an easy call, designing for social innovation is complex and requires a recalibration of skills. This virtual conference interlinks the two fields and aims to find common ground between social design and service design. By connecting the aims, we’ll take a holistic, transdisciplinary approach to design, try to bridge the gaps, and offer an innovative and fresh perspective on ways to combine social design and service design. In two content blocks, you will be able to listen to insightful talks. Each block ends with discussions and a plenary closing session. 

This is a free conference for which registration is needed: https://www.servicedesign.college/item/conference-designing-for-social-innovation
