Physical inactivity is associated with various chronic diseases and early death. The pandemic and the economic crisis worsened mental disorders and the inability to cope with stress in healthy ways. People with disabilities may represent a barometer to quantify and assess equal access to sports. A multilevel strategy for the development of both social and physical environments must overcome the ‘medical’ meaning of health, dealing increasingly with a broader disability culture design. The promotion of an active lifestyle for all is a thread common to design products and services, with several national and international proposals to enable both a physical and service-based accessibility to wellness opportunities. A short field research conducted during the pandemic, starting from a visual campaign for athletes with Down syndrome, suggested a wide-ranging reflection on sports as amusement, on inclusive language and on equal participation in sports opportunities.

The article aims to frame the Design Ecosystem in Portugal, presenting data on education, research and employability in design, and identify possible causes for the still fragile connection between design and the industry. In Portugal, the extinction of the Portuguese Design Center, in 2013, exacerbates this lack of representation of design among companies, the public administration, and the general public, an space that is urgent to occupy. Oriented to observe, discuss, and think about the schools and research in design in the context of the national ecosystem, the REDE — Meeting of Design Schools presents itself as a sharing space for designing the future of Design Schools. The REDE started as an initiative of the Design Observatory in Portugal project of the ID+ Research Institute for Design, Media and Culture that aims to collect and interpret data from the Portuguese Design ecosystem to promote knowledge and influence public policies.
文章旨在构建葡萄牙的设计生态系统,提供有关设计教育、研究和就业能力的数据,并找出设计与产业之间联系仍然脆弱的可能原因。在葡萄牙,葡萄牙设计中心于2013年解散,这加剧了设计在企业、公共管理部门和公众中代表性的缺失。设计院校会议(REDE)旨在观察、讨论和思考国家生态系统背景下的设计院校和研究工作,是设计院校设计未来的共享空间。葡萄牙设计、媒体和文化研究所(ID+ Research Institute for Design, Media and Culture)的 "葡萄牙设计观察站"(Design Observatory in Portugal)项目旨在收集和解释葡萄牙设计生态系统的数据,以促进知识的发展并影响公共政策。

In this historical moment, the controversial reorganisation of the Italian education system is raising the necessity to reflect on the responsibility of education in defining more resilient societies. Primary schools are the first place where children can actively experience the dynamics of democratic coexistence, developing their relationship with society through a process of long-term encounters. Nowadays, students not only need to acquire basic skills but, above all, to address emerging social issues through education in terms of democratic culture, equality, sharing and collaboration. The research investigated how Service Design can activate participatory processes that can foster the co-creation of educational experiences aimed at raising awareness of social coexistence and democratic participation. OpenMind Handbook is a project that facilitates the implementation of new educational experiences and increases social relationships, enabling the involvement of the educational community within a long-term action process.

This work is dedicated to studying the movement/collaborative network Somos MAG in south Brazil as an expression of the contemporary trend of collaborative networks in local independent fashion, but also as a space of immanence of noises that serve to think and possible future scenarios for different agents and areas, directly involved in local creative economies. Such factors are manifested in territories such as cities or regions, and they are increasingly integrated into a global economic and cultural dynamic, guiding creative proposals in values of localism and proximity. Through an interdisciplinary methodological arrangement, the study will present the operation of principles that relate Comprehensive Sociology, Interpretive Anthropology, Dialogism, Strategic Design and Foresight, with a view to identifying elements that allow the constitution of Possible Future Scenarios.
