Abstract

Contemporary democratic society is pervaded by a sense of powerlessness generated by changing factors that are reshaping our society. Citizens who are informed, empowered and can express their will, influencing the decisions of the representatives are fundamental for a healthier democratic system (Giglioli, 2015). It is necessary to rethink how we include youth in the collective dimension for the exercise of citizenship (Batini, 2013). In this regard, design can operate as "Design Humanism" by activating transformative processes and developing projects that promote empowerment (Bonsiepe, 2006).
