Important Notice:

-The event will be followed by a network after drink to connect Nordic and Chinese designers and social entrepreneurs and to celebrate the grand opening of Xindanwei new space.

We believe that change happens when we design better, together. Design2Change is a platform to make that collaborative change happen. It is to connect people who want to explore ways that design and technology can positively impact our communities – ways that are thoughtful, informed, creative and responsible. Our mission is to bridge designer and technologist communities with social entrepreneurs by providing an open ground for collaborative innovation.

In the first event of “Design2Change” series, Xindanwei brings to you the robot developer and product designers from Nordic countries who help those with (physical or mental) limitations to express themselves, to make (and keep making) their own choices, stay independent and participate fully in the information society.

This event is realized with the generous support of ROBOT DALEN “The Robot Valley” from Sweden and KADAVER – the project team of THE CREATIVE NORTH. For more innovative and creative examples of the design products and services and the process which plays a significant role in the Nordic welfare system, please visit THE CREATIVE NORTH exhibition in Nordic Lighthouse and attend a special reception on Oct 11, 2010, please confirm your attendance by sending a mail to thecreativenorth@gmail.com or visit www.thecreativenorth.com for more information.

Wait, there is more …
