We would love to hear your feedback on the type of content you would like to see here.

I’m a changemaker. Apparently. (I’m listed as one on this website.)

And I want to be an active participant in the process of social change.

But how much change do I want to make?

And how much am I prepared to change who I am and how I live in order to see society change in the ways I think it needs to?

Those are the key questions which Ezio Manzini’s recent presentations as part of the SIDialogues series raise for me.

The challenge is real.

The Social Innovator Dialogues, www.sidialogues.org.au, hosted some great meetings between Ezio Manzini and the Australian design community in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney in July.

The aim of these meetings was to link the design community and particularly, design schools and institutions, in Australia with the broader DESIS (Design for Social Innovation and Sustainability) Network, www.desis-network.org/, and to take the first steps towards an Australian node in this network.
