大師級的社會設計師陳嘉興，曾任職於不同設計公司，近年從事產品開發工作，致力推廣設計思維，認為「設計並不單止是生產服務的工作，它也是一種思維方式與生活態度」。他從基層市民的生活需要介入，利用設計的語言體察民生及民心。設計作品包括劏房多用途家俱、清潔工友的回收紙皮手推車、流動市集的手工展示車，陳嘉興在工作坊內將會示範及帶領大家如何在從零開始，落手用心認識社會設計。設計思維一度成為熱話，熱點在於它並不局限於設計業界，更適用於新時代的各行各業，甚至應用在個人的日常生活中，設計思維可定性為一種處事的「常識」，可惜我們對這一種常識既不認識，也不熟習。本工作坊特意為大家簡介及釐清社會設計的概念，一起實習創作「DIY防疫用品」，讓參加者能一嘗設計思維的初體驗。陳嘉興從基層市民的生活需要介入，利用設計的語言體察民生及民心。本工作坊特意為大家簡介及釐清社會設計的概念，一起實習創作「DIY防疫用品」，讓參加者能一嘗設計思維的初體驗。
