In this first season, we launch on a quest to uncover how to activate our senses of purpose in our work, and redefine our visions of design. Triggered by real contemporary problematics and the big questions we try to wrap our heads around, we bring on friends, designers and professionals around the table to assess, dream and potentiate. Together, we discuss if design can really play a part in tackling the issues we face in our modern world - things like climate change, gender inequality, the migration crisis…. This is for all of us juggling with our chaotic reality and the thirst to discover how to contribute to the creation of an improved world. Join our collective journeys on the path to furthering our own agencies, as we discover, step by step, that everyone can become a designer.
