Summary

Reasons to choose Kingston - This course is open to designers from all backgrounds who want to go beyond the boundaries of their existing disciplines rather than simply refine their existing practice.

It focuses on the power of social innovation, systems thinking, and design for service to drive collective sustainable change.
