Call for Workshops and Presentations: UBI DESIS Social Design Days
19-20 March 2026
The organization committee invites workshop proposals to the 5th edition of the Social Design Days, an event that aims to use design thinking and design knowledge to trigger, enable, and scale-up social innovation.
The call is open to all DESIS Lab members, partners, and collaborators to participate in this upcoming event with workshop or presentation proposals focusing on Design for Social Innovation and Sustainability, and exploring possible topics, namely: reflecting on concrete challenges of a territory, such as climate change, aging populations, mobility, promotion of local cultures and economies; discussing better practices, methodologies and interdisciplinary relationships within design projects; (re)thinking design strategies based in participatory processes that consider populations' needs, values, and resources, especially marginalised communities; approaching design parameters and a human-centred approach to enhance the resilience and identity of territories; and affirming the potential of design strategies for emergency scenarios in the context of social and environmental adversities.
