MA Eco-Social Design → Project 2: CARE

… caring be viewed as a species activity that includes everything that we do to maintain, continue, and repair our ‘world’ so that we can live in it as well as possible. That world includes our bodies, our selves, and our environment, all of which we seek to interweave in a complex, life-sustaining web.

Bernice Fisher and Joan C. Tronto

Inspired by this idea on CARE, almost 30 students in 11 teams developed projects in cooperation with external partners.

Teaching Team:
David Calas (Object–Spaces–Services)
Kris Krois (Communication–Interaction–Services)
Secil Ugur Yavuz (Design Research)
and other teachers/researchers of the study course

Perspectives in Tourism

current movements and sustainable opportunities for obervinschgau 

Lena Daur, Elizabeth Maldari, Ute Peppersack 

This guidebook is an anthology of research, interviews, and strategies for a new, wholistic tourism structure. We developed it with the citizen’s cooperative of Obervinschgau, but believe our transformative and adaptable ideas can be implemented anywhere that people yearn to see a resilient and caring future and that sustainable tourism becomes the norm and not a niche.

“We should not strive for a “back to normal”, but work towards a “better new normal”
Daria Habicher (Resident of Obervinschgau)

Perspectives in Tourism tries to #empower #communities to #move towards #sustainable #participatory #touristeconomies through #adaptive #tools using #eco-social design drawing on #postcolonial and #surplus #scarcity models together with #citizensinitiatives and #cooperatives.
