Social Ecological Design Master

Through direct engagement with communities and ecosystems, students develop a versatile skill set – including biomimicry, multispecies thinking, cross-cultural communication, cultural ethnography, creative activism, systems analysis, inclusive design, and more—while working alongside local stakeholders, craftspeople, experts, and peers. This unique approach, rooted in DesignXCommons, nurtures the awareness that care for tangible and intangible commons emerges through design and equips students both to work closely with different actors and to engage with theories, methods, and tools for driving meaningful, regenerative, and constructive social and ecological transformation.
