This paper describes and reflects upon the experience of the first
international summer school “Atlantic Wonder” (SSAW18) happened in Madeira last
July 2018. This event was the first experiment of a wider research that pretends to
understand how Design can contribute to the preservation of natural resources and
ecosystems. This summer school was designed with a complex programme using a
series of different tools and approaches (i) to tackle the lack of a conversation and
culture on a local level recognising Nature as one of the main resources; (ii) to put in
dialogue an international design group of participants with local experts working in
the fields of biology, botany, geology, agronomy and sustainable development; (iii)
to experiment a new design driven, Nature-led approach. The SSAW18 allowed cross fertilization and interdisciplinary responses that in the end of the experiment
resulted to be collaborative, novel and inspiring.
