Who designs your life? That is the question behind a year of community projects that explore how design can make a positive difference to our daily lives. Dott 07, an initiative of the Design Council, focuses on grass roots community projects; but there are also projects involving more than seventy schools, plus exhibitions and events in museums, galleries and rural sites in North East England. The year culminates in a twelve day Festival in NewcastleGateshead in October 2007 which will bring together the results of projects and enable all the people involved to share experiences.
