UTOPIA_an Italian way to practice transdisciplinarity. Educating alterity

Talking about contemporary scenarios means talking about international ones, with a special focus on the Global crisis.Everyone must go beyond geographic and mental boundaries; design must understand complexity and go beyond disciplinary boundaries by discontinuity, thanks to the transdisciplinary approach.Through cultural and social sustainability it is possible to carry out a concrete action aimed at the creation of a more inclusive society, through the most efficient tools (education and culture) and thanks to the contribution of service-design.Italian Design has the skills to work to a new future challenge: a new way of refuge. Italy is an open-lab, where we can imagine a new way of life for new communities, focusing on individual freedom as a social value. The designer is a medium, his goal is the understanding of the present world and he can plan new proposals by his original bravery.
