CO-CREATE A VIABLE VISION FOR SOCIALDESIGNSITE

cocreationfinal.jpgWe believe in co-creating a viable vision for the SocialDesignSite and for this purpose we involved everyone and called for participation. We as the SocialDesignSite had a vision, and we shared it with you. We would like to thank you for all the feedback we received and for those who shared their visions with us. We received suggestions for projects that are changing the world and we invited them to join the SocialDesingSite.

Our next steps will be to contact everyone who submitted feedback and ideas personally. We want to brainstorm and try to implement the changes and feedback we received. Our promise to the community was to follow a transparent approach, because the SocialDesignSite is there to serve the community and change the world together with the social design community. As outlined in our vision we publish the feedback here for you to read. Meanwhile, please feel free to contact us and submit any comment or feedback to Vision@SocialDesignSite.com
