Design and Social Innovation Impact and Evaluation
The 2017 Design and Social Innovation in Asia-Pacific (DESIAP) Public Symposium will be held at the Majlis Rekabentuk Malaysia (MRM) in Kuala Lumpur on the 21st of December 2017. DESIAP KL will be our 3rd public symposium hosted by the DESIAP network following successful events in Singapore (2015) and Bangkok (2016). DESIAP KL brings together participants from around South-East Asia who are already doing socially impactful work. They play a catalytic role in social innovation and entrepreneurship networks in their localities, making the mutual learning they acquire go further, through their sharing, mentoring and support to communities in their own contexts.
