世界设计组织与IBM公司服务团队和美国设计公司（DFA）合作发起了一项倡议，为新冠肺炎病毒进行全球设计动员并号召全球的设计师参与。为应对新冠病毒疫情在全球传播，世界设计组织汇总了来自全球的关于新冠肺炎疫情的180多项挑战，并将这些挑战总结成7方面问题，目前解决这些问题将最有可能对疫情产生正面影响，呼吁全球设计师和设计领导者从3月25日起围绕7大主题建立远程工作组，在两周内运用其设计技能提出设计解决方案。
7大主题包括：
（一）安全行为和社会距离
（二）传播:明确告知和防止关于新冠病毒肺炎的混淆、错误和潜在危险信息的策略
（三）医疗设备:对于医务人员和病人的个人防护设备、呼吸机等。
（四）医务工作者和流程:设计诊所和医院进行检测和治疗的最佳方案
（五）重新发明课堂远程学习
（六）弱势群体:包括老年人、免疫系统受损者、无家可归者、被监禁者、没有公共医疗保健国家的人等。
（七）劳动力:帮助失业工人应对和发展新的数字技能。
World Design Organization (WDO) launched an initiative in partnership with IBM’s Corporate Service Corps and Design for America to create a global design mobilization effort for COVID-19. WDO is calling on all available designers to commit to an initiative that will propose design-led solutions to a number of pressing challenges that are affecting us all. WDO collected an initial 180 challenge statements that we then clustered into seven key challenges based on the urgency and potential impact of these if addressed. They are calling on all those designers who can commit some time to work remotely together over the course of the next 10-14 days. They are looking for participants and team leaders to build working groups around these themes immediately. Given the urgency of the situation, they need to assemble and mobilize designers from around the globe to begin work as early as Wednesday, 25 March 2020.
Seven key issues as below:
·Safe behavior and social distancing
·Communications: Strategies that clearly inform and prevent confusing, incorrect, and potentially dangerous information about COVID-19
·Medical equipment: personal protective equipment, ventilators, etc. for medical staff and patients
·Medical workers and processes: best practices for designing clinics and hospitals for testing and treatment
·Re-inventing in-class to remote learning
·Vulnerable groups: including the elderly, those with compromised immune systems, the homeless, the incarcerated, people in countries without public healthcare, etc.
·Workforce: helping workers who have lost jobs cope and develop new digital skills
世界设计组织（WDO）发起青年设计师圈倡议Launch of the WDO Young Designers Circle
世界设计组织正在试点一个青年设计师圈项目，利用40岁以下设计师的创意和雄心跨越多个学科。该倡议是在新冠肺炎疫情之前就发起的，从这场危机中也表明了这项倡议的重要性，即利用创意和同情心设计一个更美好的世界。这个试点项目符合该组织利用设计帮助实现联合国可持续发展目标的目标。该项倡议旨在通过播种种子加强设计领导的作用，并对未来产生重要的影响。青年设计师圈将由来自全球的12名设计师组成，这些设计师将由新成立的委员会选出并领导。
World Design Organization (WDO) is piloting a Young Designers Circle to harness the creativity and ambition of the generation of designers under-40 across multiple disciplines. This initiative was scheduled to be launched before the global COVID-19 pandemic, this crisis has brought to light the importance of such an initiative to use our creativity and empathy to design a better world for tomorrow. This pilot programme is aligned with WDO’s objective to promote the use of design to help meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). This initiative aims to strengthen the role of design leadership today, by planting seeds that will lead to a large impact tomorrow. The Young Designers Circle will comprise 12 designers from across the globe who will be selected and lead by a newly established committee.
