Sorrell Foundation is doing well to go out into schools

Respect to The Sorrell Foundation’s project, which is taking design students into schools (News, DW 14 September).

It’s great to see young designers being exposed to genuinely valuable design approaches.

There quite simply isn’t an organisation out there at the moment that wouldn’t benefit from a participatory or co-design approach.

To be honest, I’m amazed that there are still any design projects that don’t follow this principle.

I thought it had been long established that this is the only way of producing sustainable solutions to people’s real needs.
