Beyond Design: the Game of Social Solutions

While writing the journalistic novel, 'Beyond Design', Renate Boere discovered 10 steps that can be taken in order to set up one’s own project.

These steps allow designers to render complicated information transparent and understandable for a wider audience. Boere wanted to make this easily accessible and transformed these 10 steps into a game.
