Understand the unique characteristics of your context, and design creative interventions that push the bounds on what is possible.

Let’s realise the context, and design accordingly.
Context is a constraint on design. But there’s a lot of nuance in “context”, depending on the position you’re working from, and where you're trying to go.
And that’s what this course is all about, the nuance of context, specifically the social side of context from the following positions:
Individual
Group Conversation
Network
Neighbourhood
Social Movement
Organization
Network of Organizations
Towns, Cities, Regions
Nation-State
Each of these have material and expressive constraints unique to them. Each offers challenges and opportunities to discover and explore. Each offers new possibilities for radical innovation within, and between each.
In short, this rich context can inform the interventions we design, helping to ground our impact in systems, and reveal creative paths and possibilities forward.
This course is for anyone working to unleash radical innovation in whatever level of the system they are working and playing within. Policy designers, consultants, activists, community organizers, facilitators, network weavers, campaigners, and more - if you are keen to facilitate a grounded and creative shift in the world - WELCOME!
