The concept of Suedia Creativa #4 is focusing on the social innovation through social design.
The world is experiencing right now a moment of radical change, and thousands of small mindset shifts are shaping the life in the city, the relations between bottom-up and top-down levels, and finally the democracy. All sort of independent initiatives, social and cultural entrepreneurship, practices of social design, the smart use of any available resource, new working relations based on sharing and trust, specific forms of education and professional development empowering women in difficult situations – all those are resetting the rules and softly crystallizing a new model of society. The open and tolerant society in Sweden is an enabling environment for creative practices leading to social innovation.
Suedia Creativa #4 aims to put into light and discussion some design and entrepreneurship practices, both from Sweden and from Romania, as factors that are changing the local context.
Inspired by the Swedish concept of Fika as a habit to cultivate healthy relations and exchange of ideas between people, we will create a special space for dialogue. A design pop-up urban installation will function during the month of September 2017 in a cultural center in Bucharest, opening up the debate on some themes related to the new creative city-makers: creative people, as agents of urban change.
