"Building Dialogue" in Design Academy Eindhoven — © Ana Robles Pérez

"Building Dialogue" is a collective role game in which players immerse themselves in a provocative scenario and are guided to question the status quo of today's world. The aim is to offer the participants of the DDW22 a space of reflection and practical action to tackle a given situation as a team.

" To emphasize our responsibility as designers in the reorganization of society"

As Social Designers, our goals emphasize our responsibility as designers in the reorganization of society. We have a role in the struggles for social and ecological justice, animal and nature rights, depatriarchalizing, decolonization, and antiracism. Coming from different backgrounds our goals may vary, but we all share the objective to offer our vision, imagination and abilities for the creation of worlds that promote care and responsibility.

"A powerful tool to active collective imagination, resilience and negotiation"

We believe "Building Dialogue" is a powerful tool for active collective imagination, resilience, and negotiation. Those are qualities that our society needs in order to shape more sustainable, equitable, and diverse futures

About "Building Dialogue" DAE Social Designers students

"Building Dialogue" is formed by a multidisciplinary group of designers representing 11 different nationalities. As a team of diverse disciplines, visions, and talents, we found our common ground in “designing the Social” by questioning how we can imagine different futures and scenarios using our collective assets. We believe in forms of collectivity, active participation, and constructive listening, to question and shape future realities concerning social and ecological challenges.
