Dan Lockton | Design and Imagination in Climate Futuring

Imagination is a fundamental part of design’s role in societal transitions: how can design methods help people imagine, explore, and experience different futures, for themselves and society more widely? In this talk, Dan Lockton will explore how designers can help people, together, create and explore possible futures, imagine and experience new ways to live, and understand ourselves and the world around us better in an age of transitions (and crises) in climate, energy, health, and social inequalities.

The lecture took place at the Transition - Design - Education conference in Prague on 6 May 2022.The conference was organized within the project Transition design: A new challenge for service and interaction design education, which was funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA Grants 2014- 2021, Education Programme.
