Conciencia Visual para la Vida Urbana

Caracas, Venezuela. June 2010

Conciencia Visual para la Vida Urbana is a long term project that addresses social issues. It aims to generate opportunities via creative alternatives and innovative solutions (social innovation), whilst promoting design as a tool and vehicle for its implementation.
 
On monday June 28th I spoke with design students at Prodiseño (School of Design) about Social Innovation, sharing experiences and exchanging ideas on how design can contribute with innovative solutions to social issues. An area of the design discipline which is officially unexplored in Venezuela but is bubbling and generating great interest amongst design students.

Project co-director: Penélope Plaza Project partners: Prodiseño, School of Design; Plátano Verde, Cultural Foundation organiser of Por el Medio de la Calle Festival; Paz Activa, Crime & Sociology specialist Civil Asociation; +Pop, Communication specialists & consultants; Mary Pili Ojeda, Audiovisual production & PR.
