  • We are Enabled by Design - Thursday 17th June 2010 - Design Museum, London

    "We are Enabled by Design" is a one day event, looking to reframe the ageing and disability debate by focusing on Design for All.

    We believe the world is made up of people who have a range of abilities, with each person having their own personal strengths and qualities. We are passionate about harnessing these strengths to empower people to live as independently as possible. Design for All taps into this by focusing on meeting the needs of as many people as possible, to make either a product or service accessible. By mainstreaming accessibility, this can help to remove any stigma attached, while making people's lives that bit easier and in turn more manageable. For us, Design for All means accessibility for the masses.

    So how can Design for All be used to make the world a more accessible and inclusive place? This is what we're aiming to find out, by exploring the following areas:

    • Product design
    • Service design
    • Urban design and the built environment
    • Workplace 
    • Technology
    • Art and leisure
    • Policy
