Conscientious Communicators Research Hub

Description

Conscientious Communicators was formed in 2011 at London College of Communication to develop and consolidate a community of practice around environmental and social creativity.

It is an informal cross-disciplinary group of staff, students and industry practitioners who explore sustainability in practice and within the curriculum. The hub's aim is to nurture a diverse collective that share eco-social projects, research and opportunities.

Members of this hub believe that education, research and practice need to evolve swiftly together to ensure that the discipline of design communication meets some of the vast challenges of today, equipping students, teachers and professionals for the imminent future. New approaches, methods and tools are urgently required as sustainable issues expand in a whole range of contexts. Communicators can fundamentally challenge how, where and when to catalyse actions which address sustainability. To do this, humanity needs to understand one's material and resource responsibilities; to realise the potential one has to change behaviour; to create a practical and worthwhile legacy.

Conscientious Communicators has been generated through discussion and exploration with informed and inspirational educators, students and practitioners.
