Design 21: Social Design Network

So you want to change the world. How many artists have had the desire to make a difference but felt that they were just not significant enough on their own to have much impact? How can one possibly change the world alone?

This is where Design 21 comes in. The internet has made it easier than ever to find like-minded individuals-- others with common goals, common interests, common values. It's called social networking, and Design 21 aims to provide such a network for those who wish to make a difference through design.

“Design 21: Social Design Network’s mission is to inspire social consciousness through design. We connect people who want to explore ways that design can positively impact our communities– ways that are thoughtful, informed, creative and responsible.”

Perhaps you have an idea which you need to enlist the help of others in to achieve. Or perhaps you don't have anything specific in mind but just have a desire to help. Start talking to other socially conscious designers and see what they're up to-- perhaps you'll find inspiration, or perhaps you'll find an opportunity to help.

Visit Design 21's web site to find like-minded individuals and opportunities to help organizations and causes that are in need of your talents.
