Change by Design: The Disruptive Design Method for Civic Activation

Every person is a citizen designer of the future through the actions they do, or don’t, take each day. Through this activation lab, students will be given the tools for understanding and working with complex systems, discover how to design interventions that affect positive change and create propositions for proactive civic outcomes. You will do this through learning the three part process of the Disruptive Design Method (DDM), which flows through a process of creative changemaking enabling systems level change. The DDM offers fresh approaches to skill development and knowledge transfer for the growing global community of people who want to participate in solving significant social and environmental issues in creative and future-focused ways.
