Social Design Days 16-17 of June
კურსის შესახებ
On June 16-17 Design Institute Tbilisi in collaboration with Polish Graphic Design hosts Social Design Days
For the first time, Georgia’s design community will unite to explore the role of design in driving social change. From co-design and accessibility to education, sustainability, health, and urban innovation, Social Design Days will open space for meaningful dialogue and collaborative practice.
Social Design is not just about solving problems - it's about solving the right problems, together. In a country facing complex challenges in healthcare, education, and urban development, design has the power to create systemic, human-centered solutions.
See the detailed program below.
Workshop attendance requires registration.
Registration will open on June 12.
