In recent years, design planning has acquired an increasingly social and anthropological value, developing the concept of "Design for Health" or the design and construction of objects, even common ones, which take into account the physical and cognitive differences of the various users. Starting from the definitions of "design for all", it is clear that attention to the physical and psychological needs of the user is central and the need to develop objects that are not discriminatory and that bring the user back into society. The competition aims to raise awareness of the social utility of design, placing ethical and social issues at the center of the design process.
