The ID + DESIS Lab (Design for Social Innovation and Sustainability) of the University of Aveiro (UA) is preparing to receive a lecture from Ezio Manzini, one of the greatest specialists in the area of Design for Social Innovation and Sustainability. The meeting will take place on November 29, between 9:45 and 1:00 p.m., in the new auditorium of the Department of Communication and Art, and is placed under the “Stand Up for Democracy” initiative.
With the presence of representatives from practically all design schools from Portugal, the meeting aims to discuss the role of design in these “troubled times of modern democracies”. The discussion is one of the themes raised by the Stand Up for Democracy platform, an initiative that was born to respond to the letter written by Ezio Manzini and Victor Margolin in which they invite the design community around the world to promote debate and reflection about democratic processes from the point of view of design.
