How Can Design Be Used for Social Good?

  • Central Library 800 3 Street Southeast Calgary, AB, T2G 0E7 Canada (map)

Do you remember the last time a billboard stopped you in your tracks? Or maybe a time when a magazine cover or a campaign on Instagram moved you so deeply that you signed up to volunteer for something you believe in? Good graphic design is not just pretty: it has the power to change our perspectives, and can inspire us to make positive changes in our world.

As part of the SoGood Design Awards Exhibition, we're hosting a conversation with four designers on how design can help advance social good. You’ll learn about what 'social good' truly means, see designs that champion social causes, and hear how BIPOC designers are shifting the world of design.

Panelists:

Gillian Hickie, Principal / Creative Director of GOOD Company

Dr. Milena Radzikowska
