Abstract
Founded in 2014, the Design for Behavior Change Group (now the Designing Change Group) has been promoting knowledge, understanding and actions on how to initiate and maintain positive societal change for the wellbeing of mankind and the planet. Its research focuses on leveraging design to facilitate ethical and responsible behavioral, organisational and societal changes in pursuit of these objectives. Co-design, by actively engaging end-users and other key stakeholders in the design process, offers a promising approach to creating more effective and responsible change interventions. The current strand for DRS2024 explores theories and empirical cases that adopt or reflect co-design on supporting the development of ethical and responsible interventions in the expanding realm of behavioral, organisational and societal change.
