 Dott07 Investigation
Dott 07 (Designs of the Times 2007) is a joint initiative of the
Design Council UK and ONE North East (Regional Development Corporation).
Dott 07 focused on regional engagement in the North East region of
England (centred around Newcastle-on-Tyne) and used the design process
as a tool to develop sustainable solutions to local issues. Dott
07’s Eco Design Challenge asked Year 8 students across North
East England two questions: ‘How big is your school’s ecological
footprint?’ and ‘What design steps would make it smaller?’ The
project, which was designed to tie in with the UK National Curriculum,
encouraged Year 8 students to channel their creativity into redesigning
an element of their school, with the objective of reducing their ecological
and carbon footprint. Learn more about the Dott07 Investigation. |

 Y Green
Inspired by the Californian Youth Energy Services project, the Y Green
project aims to engage a range of key stakeholders to develop a residential
sustainability project where young people are trained and subsequently
employed to conduct home sustainability consultations in their local
community. With one fifth of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions
coming from households, this project focuses on behaviour change
in energy and water use in households. Learn more about Y Green. |
