Environmental degradation and global social inequality, demand an education to transform values and
practices in today's world. Bamboo, as a plant and material, has mitigated the impacts of climate
change. When it is combined with design within a bamboo productive chain, it enhances the possibility
of a pedagogical dimension for design students, together with local communities’ participation. This
study aims to examine how social design can collaborate in education for sustainability involving
researcher’s participant observation and co-creation, which resulted in the Take Akari Bamboo Lantern
Workshop, held at the Unesp Campus in Bauru/SP. The results show that social design combined with
bamboo helps, due to the collaborative and collective ways of working, in motivating people to
internalize and carry out new practices, capable of changing beliefs, values and transform scenarios |
