It focuses on the role of the designer as an agent of social innovation for creation of more sustainable lifestyles and is based on the mapping of the network of social, economic and environmental problems that afflict this group of women of the qom community, with the aim of identify possible leveraging strategies and collaborative networks. The case is addressed from the conceptual framework of Design for Transition, the concept of resilient communities proposed by Manzini, specifically the one of cosmopolitan locations, and finally a proposal in points of intervention based on the leverage strategies developed by Donella Meadows.
