CFIT at Include 2011

Written by Antoinette Fennell Thursday, 09 June 2011

At the end of April, CFIT’s Antoinette Fennell attended Include 2011 in London’s Royal College of Art Helen Hamlyn Centre as presenter and session chair for one of Europe’s leading inclusive design conferences. The conference, as always, was packed to the brim with exciting inclusive design developments and was attended by over 200 delegates from 29 countries.

The theme of Include 2011 was ‘Inclusive Design Making Social Innovation Happen’. So rather than focusing on how inclusive design needs to adapt to keep up with emerging design trends, this year’s conference explored how inclusive design itself can in fact lead to innovative concepts and design approaches. The theme intended not only to take the focus of inclusive design out of the specific and into the mainstream, but also to demonstrate how (or if) the mainstream has been influenced by inclusive design.
