About SurGlobal
SurGlobal is a nonprofit civil society organization that seeks to be a catalyst for sustainable innovation. It creates learning spaces that foster knowledge, inspiration, and human connections—essential elements for responsible innovation—and supports individuals and organizations with brilliant initiatives so they can continue to grow.
In this edition of Sesiones Sur Global, Layshi Curbelo and Yes Rosario reflect on design centered on intersectionality and user experience for entrepreneurs.
There are other ways to think about the future: more local, more collaborative, and less dependent on systems that prioritize extraction over life. Community innovation shows that technology can also strengthen social ties, knowledge sharing, and help build collective autonomy. Photos: Andres Kishimoto
For centuries, we have designed without considering our interdependence with nature, but today it is not enough to simply reduce harm: we must design to restore. The challenge is to transform our practices to regenerate ecosystems, communities, and economies through technology that coexists in harmony with nature. From carbon-capturing architecture to urban planning that transforms cities into living ecosystems, the key lies in revaluing ancestral knowledge and fostering a regenerative mindset. 📸 Ricardo Gómez Ángel, Pim de Boer.
