Overview

The interventions address systemic challenges by focusing on individuals, the commons, and the planet. Through collaborative, practice-based approaches, we tackle social, environmental, and economic issues.

Key facts:

Eco-Social Designers engage with the complex, “wicked” problems of living within the planet’s ecological limits. They navigate intricate systems and collaborate with both human and non-human actors to design interventions at multiple scales — from experimental prototyping and community activism to policymaking and organisational redesign. Eco-Social Design is offered at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts.
