SPECULATIVEEDU

Speculative design practice questions the practice of design and offers some alternatives that are essential for the world of today and more importantly, the world of tomorrow. Based on the urgent need for an upgrade related to speculative design educational practice, the SpeculativeEdu (Speculative Design - Educational Resource Toolkit) project is oriented towards novel educational skills and practices for the 21 st century, especially those focused on the critical relations between technology and people (society). Today, design practice often focuses on making technology easy to use, practical, even sexy. In speculative design, however, the curriculum proposes a practice engaging with a social context, using design as a means of speculating about how things could be, examining also the possible negative implications of introducing a new product into everyday life - imagining possible futures... SpeculativeEdu is an educational, project funded by ERASMUS+, the European Union..
