Design and Research: responsibility, integrity, and respect.
Sensitive and cognitive experiences by design.
To design a better world, designers need to practice benevolence, respect, and tolerance. To speak up and to undertake study for the civic society, to acknowledge and to recognize diversity, courage and integrity is demanded. It is about being virtuous person and professional to sustain democracy and inclusive society.
In this year's final SEGD Riga Chapter session we will share design research led by responsible, sensitive and cognitive experiences to address violence, vulnerability, and being different in the ‘normal’ society.
