Delft Design Debate #2: Design & Politics

 

Date: Tuesday 26 November, 15:45 – 18:30
Location: X Theatre Hall 
 

Design impacts people, society, and planet. To what degree do we feel responsible for these impacts? We like to claim we are working towards a better future for all. But do we really know what is a good future and what not? Moreover, independently of designers, the world is changing itself towards an increasingly political and climatological instability. How can we position ourselves as individuals and design faculty amid these changes?

To discuss these pressing topics, the research council presents the second debate in their series. You are warmly invited to join us!

This event will feature a keynote speaker and a participatory World Café*, featuring dynamic round table discussions on statements relating to the theme of Design & Politics. Please check this page for more information on the programme to be announced.
