At the Creative Reconstruction: Vision Formulation 2, 6th Session, Yusuke Kakei, Head of issue+design, was invited and he gave a talk titled, “Social Design: The Design Mentality That Solves Local Issues”. The focus of his lecture was on the activities of issue+design, which solves various social problems by employing the power of design. To change from a society that is dependent on public aid to a type of society that is self-reliant and mutually cooperative, people need to be motivated to participate, and it is the strength of design, art and beauty that can motivate a movement to drive people to want to participate. It is something that relates to our CR activities as well. (Akagi)
