Conference Declaration
We have come together here in Nagoya
And had serious and diverse discussion on our theme
“Creating Shared Value through Universal Design”.
Our societies are constantly fluctuating between exclusion and inclusion.
Against the waves of intolerance, we will discuss tolerance.
Against the waves of division, we will engage in exchange.
Children participating in design workshop
Gave us a big suggestion:
To be flexible.
The success of design thinking ushers us to a new phase.
Universal Design is more than designing of goods,
Inevitably it would have a growing role in designing our societies.
What kind of societies do we intend?
This Conference will expand new networks
Leading us to richer dialogues.
Let this conviction be our Conference Declaration.
With this conviction, we adopt our Conference Declaration.
