Design approaches are being taken up across sectors as diverse as health, education, employment and business. Nationally we are investing in design-led programs and responses as a way to tackle complex social challenges.
OUR KAUPAPA
The DSI Symposium aims to build connections between practitioners and create space for sharing insights and learnings across different sectors. We aim to support the development of co-design practices that are of Aotearoa, and challenge ourselves as practitioners, managers and policy makers to ask what else is needed for design to have impact.
