Design is often viewed as a layer that is put on top of things to make them look good.
In this talk, Peter presents examples of design with societal impact, focusing on endangered languages around the world, from India and Southeast Asia to North America, putting an emphasis on community engagement to first understand the needs and preferences as experienced by the local users. The results of these efforts return more meaningful solutions because of the collaboration that occurs directly with local communities throughout the whole process.
