The field of design has significant potential
to advance the common good and empower people in communities worldwide.
With that conviction, the Fetzer Institute's fac.
and the design professions seeks to catalyze social change
through the strategic support of creative problem solving
that demonstrates beauty, compassion, democracy,
inclusivity, and innovation.
Love is the manifest intention of good design.
Believing everyone deserves good design, we practice
and promote transformational design initiatives
that exemplify love and forgiveness
by lifting up and fostering the interdependent relationships
of people and the design environment.
We endorse design that is adaptable,
sensitive to local needs and cultural assets, and reflects
social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
We support the ultimate act of love in design.
The gift of that design to the world with freedom to study
and change and redistribute it.
Freely sharing designs, along with the knowledge
and resources that empower their creation
amplifies the impact of design in the global community.
We invite all design professionals to recognize
and engage in the distinctive process of design
as an expression of love and forgiveness
to energize and strengthen our global community.
