50% of Argentina’s population may lack adequate housing. Lack of View represents how society only sees what it wants and looks away from homelessness. The split screen in 360° combining two videos at the same time is a perfect technique for creating a new sense of meaning. Inequality can be reduced and poverty ended if people take action.

In “Leave No One Behind,” music, voices, and visuals combine in a piece about what can be achieved beyond isolation and the pandemic, from the perspectives of young people, and with hope for the future.

“When the project was conceived we were in lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic and so we worked remotely. For the sake of the future, it is important to empower young people to have a vision for a better world, aligned with the SDGs, and it is also crucial to have confidence in young people to then take action and make that vision a reality. If educators, artists, families, businesses, politicians and other leaders in society focus on fostering young people in this way, a global solidarity of youth taking action for the SDGs can be achieved.” - Koichi Samuels, Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom

This talk brings things home. It highlights the reality that huge populations remain marginalised and excluded from full socioeconomic participation in Europe’s capital cities as elsewhere. In a project carried out in one of Europe’s largest social housing projects near Paris, we were able to show local government that it is possible to coordinate with a broad spectrum of actors towards building effective, accountable and inclusive services at all levels. Tackling the SDG’s requires us to act urgently and boldly, unafraid of risk and willing to strike unlikely partnerships. We also need more effective tools to make the participatory approaches from the last decades more orientated towards actionable solutions that can be tried and tested and implemented with greater success rates - This is where ‘human centred design’ steps in. This cutting edge work is bringing international development into the 21st century.
