OUR MISSION
OUR BELIEF IN DESIGN AS A FORCE FOR CHANGEWe believe that design and design thinking have the power to unite people of different nationalities, ages, genders, political views, and beliefs in pursuit of common goals and sustainable societal development.
We believe that design, design education, and the purposeful actions of local design communities can drive meaningful improvements in the environment and enhance the quality of life in the Western Balkans.
We believe that design can be a powerful catalyst for integrating the Western Balkans into the European Union and the global community.
We believe that applying design thinking principles to other fields—politics, diplomacy, law, family policy, and beyond—can help normalize international relations and foster strong, mutually beneficial connections between nations, leading to a more sustainable and harmonious world.
