The C3 project 

The C3 project was led by the DESIS (DESIGN for Social Innovation and Sustainability) Lab @ NOVA SBE, which focus on unleashing a new generation of future leaders who are aware of the impact they want to have in their lives and know exactly which ways of behavior they can utilize to balance demanding work with a joyful life.The DESIS Lab is the programming and community engagement arm of the ERA Chair in Social Innovation. We believe that to innovate with purpose and develop sustainable solutions to complex social issues requires creative collaboration and a design thinking mindset. It is part of the DESIS International network, a group of academics, researchers and students who orient their design and research activities towards social innovation.
