The third in a series of events initiated in the Summer of 1968, Helsinki Design Lab 2010 will convene a global community of designers and decision makers interested in using design as a strategic tool to more effectively resolve the complex and systemic challenges facing contemporary society.
One of HDL's objectives is to use our collective resources, experience, and perspectives to bridge the gap between thinking and doing. Towards that end, Helsinki Design Lab will offer the community an opportunity to affect change on issues that loom on the horizon for Finland and many nations. As a small, well integrated, forward-looking society, Finland is an ideal place to prototype efforts at systemic change which may be too difficult to initiate elsewhere.
