Design for Change

Design for Change developed a simple design process that enables children to become drivers of change. The process got children to feel (any issue that bothered them), imagine (a way to make it better), do (implement the act of change) and share (make it visible). This was created as a toolkit that was translated into 15 languages including Braille to make it the most inclusive movement of change to date. The toolkit included guidelines, teacher tips, an example of a “change story” and inspirations. The style of the toolkit is child-friendly and uses appealing colors. In 2011, Design for Change reached 33 countries and over 300,000 schools – inspiring hundreds of thousands of children and their teachers and parents to celebrate the fact that change is possible and that they can lead that change! “By winning the Index Award, Design for Change can now truly reach its vision of being able to infect all children with the ‘I CAN’ bug. The honor, visibility and credibility that the INDEX: Award stands for, will serve to enhance the global impact and penetration of Design for Change.”, Kiran Bin Sethi says.
