Design and designs have many ways of interacting with people. On 27 April we invite design organisations, collective initiatives and design communities to ignite a conversation with other fields around the design-provoking question ‘is it kind?’

Instead of designers talking about design, we invite guests from outside of the design profession to give their take on building kindness into design practice. We are talking about philosophers, researchers, anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists, biologists (and more!) whose distinct approaches, methodologies and tools might be used directly, or adapted to design processes. How do other professionals learn about, include and measure humanity and the environment? How might we cross-pollinate knowledge bases, to better understand the challenges designers face, the wider impact of design decisions, and to develop more ethical and inclusive design processes?

Following this approach, we, the Lithuanian Design Association, will host a local conference broadcast online through livestream in which speakers from social, philosophical and biological fields will respond to the design-provoking question ‘is it kind?’ and share their views and tools to enable designers to have more conscious processes.

Stay tuned to the International Council of Design, International Design Day & LDA channels for more details!

International Design Day, observed since 1995, marks the establishment of the International Council of Design (ICoD) on April 27, 1963.
International Design Day is an opportunity to recognise the value of design and its capacity to effect change. On this day, we challenge designers to reflect deeply on the well-being of people within their local environments, and to find innovative solutions to local needs by using design as a vehicle to honor diversity and transcend borders.
This year LDA (Lithuanian Design Association) got an opportunity to organize the International Design Day together with ICoD (International Council of Design).
