DesignEd is an annual event which is part of the highly successful Business of Design Week and this year will be an arena for new ideas and existing practices of Sustaining Culture through Design Education. The program will include invited speakers on the theme and for the very first time we will include presentations of cases and papers.
THE PRESENTATIONS
To present a paper, please submit your Abstract to our web site. The paper themes are:
- Teaching across cultures design
- Cultural awareness for design students
- Curriculum Development
- E-Learning
Closing date for Abstracts is September 30, 2007.
The accepted cases and papers will have the unique opportunity to communicate their ideas about design education and culture to the audience of the conference. Culture becomes a more important topic in design education, as global economies and regional cultures come under threat. One of the ways to preserve the culture of a region is through design education. It is in the design of the artifacts of a culture where unique traits can be preserved, utilized and shared.
Please join us for an enriching and rewarding DesignEd Conference!
