DesignLab University of Twente has been establishing new connections since 2014: students and researchers joining forces with citizens, governments and the industry, to design opportunities for challenges within and beyond the borders of health, climate and safety. When working with and at DesignLab, different worldviews are equally heard, people become empowered and first tangible steps are made. Dear Future us: let’s feel, think and act when it comes to today’s challenges and potentially those of our next generations.
DesignLab congratulates the community for wanting to be, becoming and being the change makers of tomorrow at DesignLab for 10 years now! We could design a birthday card that has our age on it, and write about all the things that we are proud of. But being the experimental and collaborative ecosystem we are as DesignLab, we asked the community of founders, UT colleagues, researchers, DreamTeam students and partners outside University of Twente to tell their meaningful story. They were asked to put into words what they are most proud of, when thinking about projects and initiatives in the context of DesignLab. They also shared wishes for our future: actions we should take as society, to co-shape the futures we want to live in. Enjoy the content!
