Are you trying to change the world but sometimes feel disconnected or isolated in your efforts?

The Hopeful Design Union is a growing network of students, researchers and alumni from practice-oriented degree programs committed to social and ecological transformation.

It creates space for coordination, collaboration and long-term exchange across regions and institutions moving beyond individual programs to build collective structures.

The Union is organised through regional circles, regular online assemblies and annual in-person gatherings connected to initiatives such as By Design and By Disaster.

If you’re interested in connecting, we’d be glad to hear from you.
