The 8th International Forum of Design as a Process is promoted by the Latin Network for the Development of Design Processes, founded in 2008 with the manifesto “Carta di Torino”: a worldwide group of researchers, educators, students and professionals, who study and operate in the field of design processes under the umbrella of the Latin cultures. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it emerged the need to cross-fertilize the discipline fields, overpassing multi-dimensional boundaries (spatial, cultural, economic, technological) and to integrate theoretical studies, researches and practical solutions coming from different areas of investigation. This reflection leverages the involvement of a larger community of designers interconnected to the wider world, shared by a plurality of peoples each inhabiting different geographies, including voices from the fringes, outside the mainstream, to pick up on new trends, practices and future references of globalization, as a knowledge spillover effect of the Forum towards responsible innovation and social justice.
