At the Faculty of Design and Art of the Free University of Bolzano we will start a Master in Eco-Social Design (Glocal Design)* in the winter semester 2015/16.

You will teach in the master, and you will do design and “research by design” in projects, where design acts as a catalyst of eco-social transformations.
