Future-focused design learning community.

How is design (as in designing, design thinking, and design cultures) influencing educational processes and systems? How do enabling technologies change the learning experience? How can creating a ‘continuous community’ in the field of knowledge innovation starts to aggregate research, experiences, practices? These three central questions are animating the debate around design education, with the aim to discover, understand, be part of and propose contemporary and sustainable strategies to face actual, unexpected and future challenges with the optimism design offers. These reflections were approached by the Advanced Design Unit, with the aim of activating a follow-up of FutureDesignED, capable of addressing contemporary and future challenges.
