摘要

In a time where we are facing some of the most difficult and truly disturbing acts against humanity, animals, and our environment, I find myself desperately seeking out instances which can serve as a reminder that people are still capable of great things. Stories which reveal our ability to collectively come together around a shared interest or issue, and devise new collaborative solutions which challenge the status quo. In these searches I've discovered that captured well, design for social innovation has the power to unite, inspire, and bring the characteristics of design to the needs of social goals. For instance, Nesta (a UK innovation foundation) and its focus on capturing and demonstrating social innovation has always been a repository for inspiration (c.f. Murray, Caulier-Crice, and Mulgan 2010).
