"Nothing is permanent, except change." In the fast-changing landscape of 21st-century societal, political, and urban transformations, individuals and communities must continuously adapt to evolving challenges.

These are the pivotal questions tackled by the Change Agents project, a groundbreaking initiative launched in early 2023 by six art and design universities across Europe and Israel. Designed to leverage new methods and strategies to help connect NGOs engaged in addressing social and sustainability challenges with design higher education institutions (HEIs), the project has culminated in a comprehensive methodological guide that could help catalyse social design practices and positive change.
