We'd like to invite you to the conference of a Social Design Festival, initiated by Kokum design Trust, partnering with Entertainment Society of Goa and supported by the British Council and IFB Goa. It seeks dialogue and win-win solutions. You can know more here: www.socialdesignfestival.com.
aSDF is instituted as a national independent festival, with a core focus on design and socio-environmental issues. Because Social problems are Design problems. It pro-actively seeks to bring stakeholders and designers together to create win-win solutions, highlighting clever interventions wherever they may be, as well as connecting the people behind them. Socio-environmental issues and the design world still exist in mutually exclusive spheres, leaving lots of missed opportunities to unite and create a real impact we wish to see. For too long, the design has been recognized as simply a skill set for surface application only and not for its process, which compulsorily includes empathy. For too long, have Government agencies worked towards solutions, not realizing the ally they have in the design. The Government is and will be the biggest beneficiary of an integrated approach to action. With this Festival, we seek to encourage dialogue, generate content and create interest in furthering ideas for future applications. Its goal will be to connect all good efforts through example and networking. This is a five-day festival that is split into workshops and a conference. The workshops are rooted in real-life situations which in some cases are together with government agencies such as CCP, Smart Cities Initiative and the GHRSSIDC. They are mentored by leading professionals - #1 - Design + Environment #2 - Design + Institutes of Learning #3 - Design + Cities #4 - Design + Products for Waste Recovery #5 Design + Learning Space #6 Design + Craft #7 Design + Resilience The Two-Day Conference will begin with the presentations of the workshop outcomes and is followed by 14 speakers that will speak under the headers of Design + Governance Design + Environment Design + Craft Design + Media Design + Impact You are invited to attend across 20th and 21st, the first session starting at 9.30 am being of relevance to Goa. The founders of Kokum will be there for an interview during the course of the day. Thanking You, Tushita Varma.

It is time to engage with and celebrate these efforts by bringing it into the mainstream narrative through a festival. *Sign up for one of the immersive three-day workshops curated by leading professionals. These include exercises aimed to make the most of diverse representations on real-time issues. The results will be peer-reviewed at the start of the conference. Additionally, get inspired by the success stories of 14 speakers over the two-day conference.* *HARVESTING DESIGN IDEAS FOR POSITIVE CHANGE* *WORKSHOPS ARE THREE-DAY HACKATHONS THAT ADDRESS DESIGN ISSUES IN THE SOCIAL REALM.* Seven workshops will run parallel to each other over a span of three days, hence each participant can only register for one workshop. A seat at the conference is included for all workshop participants. #1 DESIGN + ENVIRONMENT <https://kokum.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=790b6cad2d7f3b72c2f8cbfb1&id=2ec33beae9&e=df4445bf5b> <https://kokum.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=790b6cad2d7f3b72c2f8cbfb1&id=3bdbf8fce9&e=df4445bf5b> URBZ Collective #2 DESIGN + INSTITUTES OF LEARNING <https://kokum.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=790b6cad2d7f3b72c2f8cbfb1&id=755818fa11&e=df4445bf5b> <https://kokum.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=790b6cad2d7f3b72c2f8cbfb1&id=66b16cbb11&e=df4445bf5b> KTK-Belt Project #3 DESIGN + CITIES <https://kokum.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=790b6cad2d7f3b72c2f8cbfb1&id=29b9d90470&e=df4445bf5b> <https://kokum.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=790b6cad2d7f3b72c2f8cbfb1&id=03e9af7267&e=df4445bf5b> Malini Krishnankutty and Oliver Goodhall with the State Government #4 DESIGN + PRODUCTS FOR WASTE RECOVERY <https://kokum.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=790b6cad2d7f3b72c2f8cbfb1&id=3432ce755c&e=df4445bf5b> <https://kokum.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=790b6cad2d7f3b72c2f8cbfb1&id=a642a746fa&e=df4445bf5b> Mozaic and Thinkering with the State Government #5 DESIGN + LEARNING SPACE <https://kokum.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=790b6cad2d7f3b72c2f8cbfb1&id=64c47412e7&e=df4445bf5b> <https://kokum.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=790b6cad2d7f3b72c2f8cbfb1&id=3d8c6dacff&e=df4445bf5b> Matter and Playgroup Studio with Mission Anganwadi #6 DESIGN + CRAFT <https://kokum.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=790b6cad2d7f3b72c2f8cbfb1&id=7aaece9e39&e=df4445bf5b> <https://kokum.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=790b6cad2d7f3b72c2f8cbfb1&id=e8cbfcafc6&e=df4445bf5b> The Busride Studio with Poonam Verma #7 DESIGN + RESILIENCE <https://kokum.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=790b6cad2d7f3b72c2f8cbfb1&id=79fdf4bf40&e=df4445bf5b> <https://kokum.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=790b6cad2d7f3b72c2f8cbfb1&id=09e181f302&e=df4445bf5b> Studio for Habitat Futures with Integrated Design *THE CONFERENCE IS A FORUM TO UNDERSTAND HOW DESIGN CAN BRIDGE THE DEFICIT IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.* *20 FEB 2020, ThursdayConference day 01 I Festival Day 04* *9:00 -
