Change to Go – The Podcast of the Change Agents Erasmus+ Project

What is meaningful change? What does collaboration mean and how can we work towards more inclusive and just futures? This podcast delves into key issues of collaborative practices that emerge from the fieldwork during collaborations between design focused academia and NGOs/non-profit organisations.

We focus on collaborations between institutions, students, collectives, NGOs, and movements that aim to initiate, support, or create space for eco-social transformation. Each episode is an invitation to see collaborative social design practices in a new light – together with practitioners, activists, and academics. The podcast critically discusses aspects that arise in social design, i.e. power asymmetries, temporalities, safe grounds for co-learning and new understandings of knowledge and knowledge production.

In this first episode, we explore our perspectives on collaboration and delve into the broader context of the podcast. We introduce the “Change Agents” project and the Social Design Network, and highlight the themes of the next episodes and questions that are relevant for the series.

Change Agents is a project co-funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ program.
