Collective Action
We as humans are what we are thanks to the high level of collaboration. There is no way we can tackle the challenges we are facing as individuals. I was looking for projects that equip people with skills and knowledge for better collaboration, connect people, and at the same time emphasize the importance of social and environmental justice.
Collective Action is a collection of works from the Global Innovation Design of Royal College of Art. These projects help us to collectively imagine a better future, explore collective cultural values and community aspirations, learn and support each other. They combine people, technology, processes, and data to solve their challenges in a meaningful way.
I hope that this collection will help the students find some unexpected connections to push their projects further.
