BERLIN DESIGN WEEK 2023 #RESILIENCE MAY 08.—17., 2023

Crises always offer opportunities for change. In the face of area-wide crises affecting our personal, societal, economic, ecological and geological levels, resilience becomes visible. As a sustainable competence not only to deal with crises but also to remain adaptable and resilient in the future under changing conditions. Not a “biting through” but a putting oneself in a position for positive change and adaptation, as the ability to tolerate uncertainty, to recognize opportunities in crises, and a willingness to transform to ensure stability.

"A key factor here is the self-efficacy expectation: 'I know I can make a difference through my actions.' This idea carries through our upcoming festival. Design as a driver of agility, stability, sustainability and innovation potential has a central role to play. Not acting is no longer an option."
