The Social Innovator Dialogues, www.sidialogues.org.au, hosted some great meetings between Ezio Manzini and the Australian design community in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney in July. The aim of these meetings was to link the design community and particularly, design schools and institutions, in Australia with the broader DESIS (Design for Social Innovation and Sustainability) Network, www.desis-network.org/, and to take the first steps towards an Australian node in this network.
