CREAT supports the organization of the first International Symposium on Social Design in Québec, an event co-organized by the Culture in the regions and Discoverability axis.
Entitled “Beyond Social Innovation: Social Design?”, the symposium brings together researchers and practitioners from Québec and abroad to reflect on the role of social design in addressing the major challenges of our time: socio-ecological transitions, social justice, accessibility, and citizen empowerment.
The program highlights a wide range of approaches, including lectures, case studies, exhibitions, and workshops.
