[Open Design & Hardware] Introduction: Aleksandar Kovac

Mon Jul 22 18:20:58 UTC 2013

*WHO WE ARE?*

The social design en+ is based on creating new platforms for communication,
interaction, exchange and development, fleeing from simple protest to seek
solutions through design. Our operations look for to
promotepositive communication interactions involving creating
solutions through creativity, empathy and synergy.

*How do we get the stated objectives?*

Design isn’t just for designers. All of us can start to find creative
solutions to the challenges around us—whether it’s making our job better,
or redesigning a local park, or brainstorming ways to attack major
challenges like climate change.

Start looking around for the problems that bother you most. Don’t know
where to start with design? On our design hub, look for an upcoming series
of posts on basic creative problem-solving, from interviewing and observing
to prototyping.

We work in integrating socially concerned designers and NGOs to help them
improve the quality of their communications, whether from the formation or
from the connection between designers and organizations.

Along with the development of projects for NGO’s, en+ continues a line of
analysis and investigation to improve communication
and social design research groups and creating online formation courses
specializing in the designand social media.
