Social Design Network’s members are active in examining and defining matters of social design and design for social justice.

Through practical projects involving a variety of stakeholders from different fields, to educational work at different institutions, we strive to gain and share a better understanding of how design can improve the lives of communities.

The Social Design Network aims to share knowledge through the works of researchers, practitioners and educators from various fields and locations.
