The organization of the material contained in this book was carried out during the meeting held at the University of Minho in November 2023, during the Making Design Through Communities seminar at Lab2PT – Laboratory of Landscapes, Heritage and Territory.
All of these works are attentive to the importance of the relationships between design and care, in their multiple dimensions. The following topics were covered: design, migration and social inclusion of refugees; design and equipment for the outskirts of Brazilian cities; design, communities, tactile books and visual capacity; design, media and young people in South Africa; design, sociology and contributions to social inclusion; design in contexts of social exclusion; design and transformative encounters.
In all these works there is an emphasis on the political meaning of community participation.
