I read a lot of articles about social design that emphatically declare design’s potential to change the world. Headlines state that design thinking is the key to innovation and that opportunities abound for creating positive social change. Amongst this ambitious rhetoric, it’s tempting to think we can tackle big, global problems all at once. If you want to change the world, go big or go home, right? Well, reading about social design and practicing it are completely different. The social design process is messy and ambiguous.

Laura Bunt - 31.01.2013 Today we've published a call for proposals for a major research and policy conference on social innovation, to be held in the UK in November 2013. In partnership with Glasgow Caledonian University and the TEPSIE project , with support from the Social Innovation Exchange , The Rockefeller Foundation and the University of Oxford , we are looking for research that will push knowledge and practice of social innovation, and set a collective research agenda for the next ten years. All over the world, interest in social innovation is growing rapidly. The European Commission is making a substantial effort to support social innovation in practice, such as through the EU Social Innovation Prize and funding research.

„Green Care“ lässt ländliche Regionen aufblühen | Nachrichten, die uns bewegen
Stark durch Kooperationen im Kulturpark Eisenstraße (Niederösterreich) „ Green Care “ ist ein Pilotprojekt der Landwirtschaftskammer Wien mit Unterstützung von Bund, Land und Europäischer Union. Das Projekt erweitert die herkömmliche agrarische Produktpalette der LandwirtInnen um pädagogische, therapeutische und pflegerische Produkte sowie soziale Arbeit und leistet damit einen Beitrag zu Bildung, Arbeit und Gesundheit der Bevölkerung. Das innovative Sozialprojekt läuft bis zum Jahr 2013 mit dem Ziel, Green Care künftig österreichweit auf aktiven landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben umzusetzen, um neben bestehenden Sparten wie Tourismus (Urlaub am Bauernhof) und Direktvermarktung (Gutes vom Bauernhof) auch eine soziale Sparte aufzubauen. Dieses neue und ökonomisch nachhaltige Zukunftsfeld soll dazu beitragen, die einzigartige landwirtschaftliche Struktur Österreichs aufrechtzuerhalten.

Por toda parte, as crescentes desigualdades e a desregulamentação das finanças estão destituindo as pessoas da parte que lhes cabe nos benefícios da prosperidade mundial. Nossos filhos terão por legado o ônus do desflorestamento, da desertificação, da diminuição da biodiversidade e da mudança climática. Para reverter essa tendência, a promessa de dignidade universal que aportam os direitos humanos tem que ser implementada e os direitos das futuras gerações têm que ser reconhecidos e devidamente defendidos. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>
