NYC events in design and social impact this week

From my friend and networking buddy Brielle -

Wednesday, February 2

7:00pm Live With Design Explores Social Design Manifestos This month Live With Design meets with Manifesto Makers to discuss how to approach creating a manifesto and explore the challenges/victories experienced during the making process. A social design manifesto brings to the forefront a set of ideas and intentions. They showcase the “why?” behind the “what” – that message that makes us into believers. They are call to action. Their function is to locate and ignite the “us.” Urshula Barbour is a designer/writer/educator and founder, Pure + Applied Design Studio www.pureandapplied.com She’s responsible for designing the first edition of Design Like You Give a Damn . David and Mike Radparvar, founders of Holstee, www.holstee.com, created their manifesto as the anthem that embodies the reason for what they do – “selling kick ass products, sustainably made, with social impact”. Interactive Exercise: Led by Pritha RaySircar, Founder & Chief MAKEr of theMAKE www.themake.org/ which is a social activation model. Please bring a t-shirt that needs to be re-purposed! Also get a sneak preview of the www.womenofhaiti.org.. Soon to be launched microsite the result of our collaboration with Digital Democracy.
