Design can often lead to exclusion. In order to support inclusive design across the places where we live, work, and play, we need to better understand how to integrate equity-centered design into existing systems and processes — especially those that govern (literally) our neighborhoods and city. Attending this event will give insight into the practices within those in the public and social innovation sector, providing insight into the current conversation, and furthering the conversation through the open discussion of best practices and challenges of applying equity-centered design across the public and private sectors.

The Social Impact Lab is a design marathon focused on making a difference at a local level through social impact design. The latest cohort wrapped up in June 2020 and went virtual to accommodate stay-at-home orders. Attending this event will give insight into the Social Impact Lab approach and how it has iterated to serve local organizations. The most recent partnership was with New Avenues for Youth, a Portland-based non-profit that is dedicated to the prevention and intervention of youth homelessness.

If you are interested in using your design background and experience for social good — or if you want to learn about joining the group of denizen designers committed to systemic re-design — join us for our presentation, discussion, and Q&A.
