WDC-Campus: Dialogwerkstätten

Design mit Haltung | Dialogwerkstatt

Diana Tayo Osobu invites participants to come together in interdisciplinary discussion formats to reflect on how design can continue to evolve in order to strengthen Europe as a leading design location.

Design is understood here as a decision-making tool: it helps structure complexity, provide orientation, and make sustainable solutions visible. Against the backdrop of current challenges facing the creative industries—such as design apps that increasingly replace traditional creative processes—new design skills take center stage. These encompass both craft and mindset, as well as the ability to meaningfully connect markets, technologies, and users.

Registration opens mid-April.
