SOCIAL LABEL MOVEMENT / PRESENTING PUBLICATION 'DESIGN WORKS'
‘Social label is bringing its message of inclusivity to Europe’
A presentation of the publication Social label 'Design Works' - An open book on designing labour by Petra Janssen (Studio Boot) and Simone Kramer (C-mone), initiators/design thinkers at Social label Foundation. By (re)designing labour, we create new opportunities and demonstrate what meaningful design can do to create an inclusive society with enjoyable work for all. The book offers an overview of all the insights gained from the debates, experiences and practices that form part of Social label. These are tackled from different perspectives and highlight a range of sheltered workshops and social businesses, exploring what design can do for society in terms of social inclusion. From lessons learned in the process, to a manifesto for a new economy based on human values: Social label – socio economics celebrates the power of design and communication, and is a striking attempt to make a change in the Dutch system of labour, participation, and social return.
Organiser Social label
Organiser of Social label Movement / Presenting Social label publication 'Design Works'
Design creates socio economic opportunities for disadvantaged persons in the ‘working world’. Social label is a new ‘work concept’ for people with a distance to the labour market. Social label involves designers, companies (social firms), healthcare and governmental organisations for new possibilities.
The Social label foundation is about more than making appealing products for the public. To support the Social label product we are establishing a platform for quality. So we can put the makers’ talents on display. To make people proud of they are and what they make. The products help us tell the stories of these workers and get the audience involved. We are creating an appealing (work) environment to create new opportunities.
We call it socio-economics.
