This project entry won Honorable Mention at the International Design Awards (IDA) 2020 recognising emerging talents in Graphic Design.
The 'Apathetic Indian' is a deck of 20 cards developed for secondary school children to imagine future scenarios for India’s Agenda 2030 vision. It is a toolkit developed to aid facilitation in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in schools using speculative design methods for transformational learning.
The project recognises the urgent need to transform the attitude of Indian citizens towards their country's development from apathy to action while shifting focus from urban to rural/grassroots development.
Integrating this activity in classroom learning can help students create design speculations that can act as a catalyst for collectively redefining their relationship to their reality. It will open up new perspectives on wicked problems, to create spaces for discussion and debate about alternate ways of being.
