End: 2025-09-05T10:00:00+01:00

This one-of-a-kind three-month programme is for anyone eager to learn and apply responsible design practices while making a real-world impact. Unlike any other, this Fellowship combines practical training with the opportunity to contribute to meaningful social change from day one. Participants grow as designers and leaders through hands-on opportunities, expert-led learning, and a supportive community of like-minded individuals and thought leaders.

**Ideal for**

* Designers at any level
* Career changers into UX
* Emerging leaders
* Non-designer with lived experienced, also welcome

**Topic covered**

* Ethics in AI
* Trauma-Informed Practices
* Research Decolonisation
* Regenerative Leadership

**Why one-of-a-kind?**
This isn’t just another training program, it’s the result of over a decade of global experience connecting the UX community with the purpose-driven sector. What sets this Fellowship apart isn’t just what you’ll learn or unlearn, but the meaningful social impact you can create in just three months.

The Responsible Design for Change Fellowship brings together four essential elements: a meaningful cause, personalised training in responsible design, a global network connecting like-minded peers, and you. Because it’s not just about what you learn, it’s about how, why, and with whom.

By the end, you won’t just [earn a certificate](https://www.credential.net/group/682087) — you’ll leave with a renewed sense of purpose, lasting connections, and real experience designing in ways that bring hope, dignity, and wellbeing to people while caring for the planet. It’s a shift in mindset as much as in skillset — and it stays with you.

**Which Track is best for You?**
The Fellowship offers two tracks — **Individual Contributor** and **Regenerative Team Leader** — and the right one for you depends on your experience and aspirations.

**Individual Contributor - £420 (sold out)**
The Individual Contributor track is ideal if you’re a junior or transitioning into UX design or research, a seasoned professional who prefers to focus on craft over management, or someone with lived experience looking to apply responsible design in a hands-on, supportive environment.
You’ll join a diverse team of up to four people, each bringing unique strengths and learning goals — creating a space for growth, collaboration, and impact.

**Regenerative Team Leader - £990 (sold out)**
If you’re an experienced UX designer curious about leading people, the Regenerative Team Leader track offers a powerful introduction to compassionate, holistic, and regenerative leadership.
You’ll guide a small team of individual contributors, with support from the fellowship team, while developing real-world leadership skills rooted in empathy and inclusion.

**We offer crowdfunding support**
UX for Change helps make the Fellowship more accessible by supporting your fees through creative crowdfunding.
Here’s how it works:
If you’re interested, you simply agree to a six months payment plan, and then start spreading the word to your loved ones and professional network. Every time someone contributes to your campaign, your next monthly instalment is reduced.
It’s a supportive, community-powered way to invest in your growth while making a difference.

It explains everything you need to know about how it reduces the Fellowship fees and how the monthly payment plan is set up.

Cecilia is the Responsible Design Coach for the Fellowship. She guides fellows through a powerful process of unlearning and relearning, creating space to explore complex and often uncomfortable topics—such as marginalization, climate collapse, and systems of exploitation.
Her role is to help fellows navigate these challenges with curiosity, compassion, and courage. While the journey can be intense, it is also deeply rewarding. Cecilia encourages participants to stay open, embrace discomfort as a catalyst for growth, and care for their mental well-being throughout the process.
