The project focuses on the application of social design in the remote Valle di Blenio, a mountain region in Ticino characterized by economic challenges and a strong cultural identity. Starting from the historical and symbolic significance of the former Cima Norma (chocolate factory in Switzerland), the author examines how the valley's population can strengthen their self-efficacy and pool their resources to shape their living space in order to initiate sustainable development independently of external investors. As part of an iterative design process, the author uses methods such as interviews, an interactive exhibition, and a “traveling camera.” By employing these methods, the social designer makes people's creative power visible, which strengthens their sense of self-efficacy and encourages them to work together on the projects they want to see happen. As an artifact, the author presents soft skill hacks for social designers: crucial qualities when it comes to overcoming cultural and social barriers.
