L’articolo propone un approccio che integra meta-design e design inclusivo nel processo progettuale. Consapevole della complessità e dell’evoluzione del design nel contesto sociale e culturale, questo approccio è parte di una ricerca di Dottorato in corso, che intende definire l’inclusività in maniera ampia e contestualizzata e proporre un metodo per introdurla nei processi di ricerca e di formazione per le future generazioni di designer più consapevoli. L’obiettivo è sviluppare e validare pratiche di ricerca per favorirne l’applicazione in altri contesti formativi e professionali, promuovendo una visione del design che valorizzi la diversità fin dalle fasi preliminari del processo progettuale. Integrare la dimensione inclusiva nel meta-design, ovvero nelle attività di ricerca che definiscono il senso e la direzione di un progetto, consente di anticipare riflessioni che spesso vengono affrontate solo nelle fasi finali o ridotte ad aspetti secondari. Un cambiamento di questo tipo, come dimostrato dalle prime evidenze empiriche presentate nel paper, richiede un impegno iterativo di riflessione e revisione critica e culturale.
