Design for inclusive attitudes

The “Design for Inclusive Attitudes” (DxIA) is an innovative approach to designing services, strategies, policies and initiatives aimed at promoting inclusive attitudes in communities and organizations (Busciantella-Ricci, 2023). This approach addresses cultural, invisible and intangible barriers with the creative tools of design to promote positive attitudes towards diversity and inclusion. From a scientific point of view, this approach is based on the Transition Design framework (Irwin, 2015). The DxIA exploits the contemporary co-design culture to understand how to spread positive attitudes towards diversity and inclusion by designing services, strategies and other design outputs capable of provoking radical changes for complex inclusion challenges (Busciantella-Ricci, et al., 2024).
