RSD14 @ MVI hub

Dates
16-18 October 2025

 

Place
RSD14: ARCS OF IMPACT hosted by: ExperienceLAB, Camping Ca'Savio, Venice Lagoon, Italy

 

 

 

Content
The annual systemic design conference “RSD - Relating Systems Thinking and Design” is offered this year as a physical conference at OCAD University in Toronto, Canada. The conference has a hybrid format where a majority of presentations and talks are streamed online.

Over time, MVI campus has established itself as a physical hub accompanying the main RSD conferences. For those participating online and not traveling to North America, MVI, together with the partnering Experience LAB at the Venice Lagoon, offers the physical MVI RSD hub to mingle between selected virtual screenings, our own presentations and dialogues to hold online, and in-person dialogues, reflections, and systemic design practice.

 

What you learn
Systemic design in theory, in practice, in its place-specificity. Dialects and frameworks, people and community, reflections on your own endeavors. All of this in a community of like-minded pals in a nurturing mountain environment.

 

Structure
We find easy days with some joint and individual online participation in the conference from a joint screening space. We dialogue on hikes, during co-designed (outdoor) activities, while having a beach walk, a Lagoon sunset drink, or simply reflect with space for individual rhythms and breaks.

 

For whom?
Those who like to participate in RSD, be part of the systemic design discourse, development, and community, and who won’t travel to Canada yet like to join a hybrid version of an in-person gathering.

 

DRRS elective?
Yes, counting for 1 ECTS if at least one of the MOOCs has been taken and if accompanied by a written-graphical report with a potential selection as a DRRS blog publication, plus your personal learning reflection, to be submitted after the course.

 

Preconditions
None

 

Costs
The participation fee will be communicated by the end of September 2025. DRRS CAS alumni, students, and those in need are eligible for a substituted course fee.
