Figure 5 importance of working in communities and seeing that design has the potential to improve the socio-economic fabric of communities. As students travel to communities they would be interacting with social workers, politicians, public health workers, clinicians, community leaders and the community. All would be talking to each other as equals because they would all be invested in the concerns and well-being of the community. Students would understand that design was sitting at the grown-up table a well as understanding that design is involved in the problem and the beginning and not at the end. Finally, students would understand that design can respond to messy and complex issues.

Example of how the nomadic education experience and fee-back loops would work
