Designing for inclusive policy
Speculative thinking for successful and meaningful accessible, diverse and inclusive policy
How do you ensure that accessibility, diversity and inclusion are embedded in the way policymakers work; in the questions they ask, how they spend their time, and how they approach a dossier? How can a D&I check become as standard as a budget review or legal assessment? This small-scale design-led research explores practical perspectives for action through which these themes can become an integrated way of working within policy processes.
How Design Works
How Design Works is a publication by Dutch Design Foundation, commissioned by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Dutch Design Foundation, showing how design accelerates innovation and helps organisations move forward. It highlights successful collaborations between designers and businesses, alongside stories from start-ups and established organisations that share concrete experiences, insights and lessons from practice. Together, designers and entrepreneurs demonstrate how design contributes to entrepreneurship, growth and earning power: impact through design.
Transforming Safety Practices in 40+ Case Studies
In this publication, Dutch Design Foundation and the design field show how the power of design has helped to approach safety challenges differently: creatively, human-centred and exploratory. Through Co/Lab: Coalition for Safety, we have been working for several years to stimulate and support this approach within the safety domain, together with policymakers, designers, artists and safety professionals. We bring together existing makers, projects and working methods through more than 40 case studies. In collaboration Ministry of Justice and Security.
