A Network of Networks

Design for the Common Good (DCG) is a website and coalition of purpose-driven networks committed to design practice, education and research that improves social, economic and environmental outcomes.

There are design practitioners, educators, students and activists globally who work together for the betterment of communities under a variety of initiatives such as Social Impact Design and Public Interest Design. The DCG website serves as a collaborative access point for those interested and involved in this work to share best practices, engage in dialogue and get connected with opportunities to make purposeful contributions. DCG will work to extend conversations and deepen global connections through a series of international conferences and awards.

The website serves as a “network of networks.” Free registration gives visitors access to the DCG community platform and connects them with an introduction to this field of work, inspiration, education, writing, research and, most importantly, each other. In this way, Design for the Common Good brings together the confluence of forces needed to create truly healthy, resilient and sustainable design projects that will positively change the world.
