Social Design Days 27-28 of February
კურსის შესახებ
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.
We launched Social Design Days as a movement - a platform to raise awareness about the topics and tools that are deeply relevant to Georgia and our region.
This Social Design Days conference is dedicated to inclusive and accessible human-centered design - exploring environments, products, technologies, and UX/UI practices that improve everyday life for diverse communities.
Our speakers will share new trends, research, and developments in accessible design and inclusive digital solutions for apps, interfaces, and services.
Partners: IxDF - Interaction Design Foundation, Institute for Universal Design, NABA Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, TBC, MAC Georgia, Polish Graphic Design, Czech Centre Tbilisi, WYNFlair Charte, UNFPA, Red Bull…
Please, see the detailed program below. The agenda is still under development, and new participants will be added soon.
The ticket price for the full three-day event is 50 GEL, which includes access to all workshops.
Workshop attendance requires prior registration. Registration will open after February 20th.
The conference will be held in English.
