FEATURED ITINERARIES

Itinerary 1.

Foundations of EDI in Design

It introduces the core principles of equity, diversity and inclusion in design. It examines how bias, power and representation shape processes and decisions, and explores alternative approaches to achieve more inclusive outcomes.

Itinerary 2.

Design Methods and Tools

Explores practical approaches like inclusive design toolkits, user-centered and community-centered methods, positionality exercises, and personas to embed EDI into design practice.

Itinerary 3.

EDI Across Design Disciplines

Examines how EDI principles are applied across design fields, showing how inclusive strategies adapt to different contexts, from digital and product design to education and services.

FEATURED REPOSITORY MATERIALS

WHY IS EDI IMPORTANT FOR DESIGN?

Equality creates solid and lasting conditions for fairness in access and use.
Diversity recognises, respects, empowers and celebrates each other’s differences.
Inclusion creates contextual interventions so that everone feels welcome and valuated.
