Embark on a Transformative Journey with the Social Design Dimension
The GEDS online learning course starts with an important dimension: Social Design in October 2nd!
Social Design is a dimension that will give you a better understanding of the true meaning of social equity and participatory action, and it will enable participants to apply transformative tools that align us with more resilient social systems.
Our relationship with others is too dear to let it default to old domineering paradigms, and with the Social dimension, you will rediscover the importance of community cohesion and collaboration rather than competitive advantage!
During the course, you will learn important things, such as:
- Creating a shared vision for a collective project;
- Improving your communication skills and communicating more compassionately;
- Navigating conflict and embracing diversity – of ideas, beliefs, roles, etc.;
And you'll dive into many other incredible topics!
In the Social dimension, you'll acquire the comprehension and abilities to transform into a self-assured catalyst for addressing sustainability-related societal concerns 🌍
For this year, we are offering a 20% discount with the code 2023-GEDS-Discount, but it will be available only until September 5th!

Really interesting article — I appreciate how the “Social Design” dimension is framed not just as adding tools, but as shifting power dynamics: creating shared vision, enabling inclusive decision-making, valuing collective over individual, and moving away from the “old domineering paradigms”.

What resonates strongly is the idea that to design for social equity means working with communities, not just for them — addressing conflict, celebrating diversity, enabling empowerment. That’s exactly the kind of mindset that helps make design both meaningful and durable.
I recently came across the work of the Italian NGO www.anako.it , and their projects clearly embody this ethos: they engage with local communities, build tangible design-led interventions, and focus on inclusion and sustainability. Given the themes here, I thought it worth sharing their approach as kindred to this social design dimension.
