- Abstract
We train designers who design effectively for industries and their various target groups. But do we also train designers who can effectively shape the future? We argue that so far, universities have only moderately succeeded in doing so. There are many reasons for this, for the purpose of our paper we are interested in them to a limited extent. We mainly focus on a proposition of variations on how we can remedy this fatal weakness. To this end, we propose three focal points: Strengthening dual access, a stronger focus on materials and cooperation with partners from the industries not only in product-related projects but also in circular processes. Our proposals are a possible translation of Latour's claim that we as a species must become terrestrial, to survive the climate crisis and its ecological, social, economic, etc. consequences. We will show how this can be done in concrete terms presenting our research project "Exercising change: Transforming Design Education through Circular Practices" in which we research circular didactic and literacy in cooperation with various enterprises.
