During our five-day design research program, Less Hope, More Action! we will have dialogues about actionable design research projects of 4TU that tackle the societal challenges of today.
Equal Society & Politics of Design
While we cannot escape reality, we can steer its design through today's actions. Through words of kindness, recognition of other-hood and invitation to participate, we aim to represent a call-for-action for designers: now more than ever we decide to act through participation, connection, communication.
Dialogue Session
Our Dialogues programme will be covering the two thematic areas of the theme, “Equal Society” and “Politics of Design”. Three panels will allow for an exchange between the young designers by the theme and the public of the session. In the second part of the morning, a conversation with the columnist (Grace Turtle Pinzón) will help us transition to an activating workshop.There, we will start from current political limitations to inspire a call for action, turning the room into a collaborative hand-storming. By defining challenges of the future with words of the past, we invite designers to take the lead in creating positive change, bridging between theories and practices. All fueled by the creative, communicative and transdisciplinary skills of designers.
