| Popis: | In the transition to more inclusive societies, design, far beyond traditional design domains dealing with form shaping, can contribute to organizational and social transformation (Jones & Van Patter, 2009) through projects for new meanings, new services and new processes. In this sense, the chapter aims to discuss the practice of ‘Costruire Bellezza (Crafting Beauty), an experiment (Binder & Redstrom, 2006) of design for social inclusion. It focuses on both the empowerment of homeless people (Sen, 1999) and the development of skills – mainly relational – of university students (Margolin & Margolin, 2002) via Design Anthropology–led creativity. Participants include researchers, homeless people, students in design and social sciences, social workers, educators and creative talents. Through regularly organized ‘design initiatives’ (Manzini, 2015, p. 91) they as a group work on projects, languages and co-creation processes. Design and Anthropology shaped this strong relational and community-based apparatus of collaborative experiences thanks to which all participants' backgrounds are valued. The participatory experience becomes the context where experiments are carried out to develop more effective services for homeless people and new models of active and responsible citizenship. |
