Design Directions
The RSA is challenging emerging young designers to innovate around everyday issues, discovering new approaches to old problems and new ways to structure and reform public services.
Four of the scheme's 16 projects have been developed in collaboration with our Challenge team, with expert input from the Mental Health Foundation, Long Term Conditions Alliance, NHS Institute of Innovation and Improvement, Involve and thinkpublic.
Like the RSA, NESTA aims to stimulate innovation in response to major social issues and these four projects are designed to encourage students to come up with radical and experimental new ways in which to tackle health-related issues or involve communities in problem-solving.
