Design for Change(簡稱DFC)是全球性的創意行動挑戰賽,在2009年起源於印度,由印度河濱學校 Riverside School 創辦人 Kiran Sethi 發起。
對象是介乎 6 至 17 歲的兒童及青少年,參加者需要完成以下四個步驟:
1. 感受 (發現身邊潛在的問題,揀選最想解決的問題作為挑戰主題);
2. 想像 (想出解決或改善這個問題的創新獨特方法);
3. 實行 (集合每一樣所需要的資源,並實踐行動);
4. 分享 (向他人分享自己的DFC行動,影響更多人支持自己,並參與改變)。
此挑戰賽旨在給兒童及青少年一個機會去發揮自己的創意和想像力,透過實際行動影響身邊的人和事,藉此讓他們培養改善社會問題的能力,建立他們「我做得到」即"I can" 的自信心。
在2011年,澳門崇新文化協會得到 Kiran 校長的授權,讓澳門一起加入這場別具意義的挑戰賽。澳門
區的挑戰賽於 2012 年正式開始!

Design for Change (Short form: DFC) is the world’s largest school challenge for children to design solutions, which was originated by the principal of Riverside School, Kiran Sethi in India in 2009. They need to complete four steps:
1. Feel (Explore potential problems around you. Choose the problem that you want to solve most as your topic of DFC Challenge)
2. Imagine (Figure out creative ways to solve or improve this problem)
3. Do (Implement the selected idea with the necessary resources)
4. Share (Share your story with others to inspire more people to support you and make change)
DFC is designed to give children an opportunity to express their own creative ideas and put them into action for making the world better. Besides, this challenge also helps to develop their abilities to improve the social issues and establish their self-confidence of “I Can!”. In 2011, Sung San Cultural Association was authorized by Kiran to arrange this challenge for Macau. Design for Change in Macau started in 2012!
