Transforming Irresistible Circular Societies 

Transforming places into irresistible circular societies is both ambitious and difficult. No well-defined step-by-step guide exists. But we can get quite far if we embrace the process with curiosity, stay open to new ideas and learn to treat differences with respect.  

The Desire Transformation Guide compiles what the transformation processes in the eight Desire lighthouses taught us. It offers concrete advice, key considerations, and inspirational examples for facilitating a participatory, multi-level, and cross-disciplinary transformation process.   

The guide has attracted strong interest from people and organisations beyond the Desire community. It was developed by Danish Design Center, applying deep knowledge about design and design-driven methods and approaches. This is your opportunity to interact directly with Danish Design Center about how to: 

• Build and maintain trust

• Establish and nurture ownership

• Prioritise empathy and deep care for place

• …and explore more of the themes that define the guide.
