Friday night, at our 4th annual Practivism event, the audience was asked to participate in a simple survey and answer "What three skills are required for sustainable design?" in order to be included in the door prize draw. The answers were inspiring -- see the Wordle event volunteer Jen Nichols created using the words!

As the theme of Practivism was Collaboration for Sustainable Design, I'm happy to see a 'collaborative' collage summing up our learnings!

 To remain competitive, corporations are looking for innovation and impact in the area of social change as it relates to their business. The non-profit world is seeking new ways to support their constituencies through design strategy. This six-week summer intensive will introduce participants to the growing field of design for social advocacy.
