What can design achieve with regards to the SDGs?

This was a talking event that discussed the relationship between design and social problems by centrally focusing on the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) set out by the UN.

We looked into the possibilities for design dealing with social problems while sharing cases of designs that were produced in the Global Goals Jam design workshop held for the SDGs since 2016 and the designs that were created together with citizens at the Universal City Fukuoka design workshop.

This event was held as part of the Design for SDGs in Fukuoka 2017 – Global Goals Jam Fukuoka / Universal City Fukuoka design workshop.
