The EDIDesK project has released Deliverable D 4.1.1 – Design of the Digital Learning Platform: Service Design and User Experience, which outlines the architecture, service design, and user experience principles of the future digital learning platform.

This document marks the first concrete step toward the creation of an inclusive, accessible, and collaborative digital space to support the sharing and use of educational resources on Equality, Diversity & Inclusion in design.


Work Package 4 (WP4), led by ELISAVA (Spain), focuses on designing and implementing a digital learning platform that enables the upload and download of open-access, multilingual content on Design for EDI. The platform will build on the outcomes of WP2 and WP3 to foster greater inclusivity across the higher education system.


With the publication of D 4.1.1, the technical development phase officially begins, and additional deliverables and progress updates will be shared soon.

EDIDesK Project advancing EDI in Design Education: Major WP3 milestone achieved

  • 25 lug

The EDIDesK Project continues to advance its mission of embedding Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in higher education design curricula.


Work Package 3 (WP3), led by Slovenská technická univerzita v Bratislave (STU), focused on testing and validating the EDI Teaching Framework across 17 design modules in Italy, Poland, Slovakia, and Spain. This work provided concrete evidence of how EDI principles can be integrated into design education across disciplines — from product and service design to architecture and communication.


The results are published in:

  • 📄 Deliverable 3.2.1 – Testing the teaching framework on Design modules

  • 📄 Deliverable 3.2.2 – Results of testing teaching framework and modules




Together, these deliverables offer practical guidelines, evidence-based insights, and scalable methodologies that educators and institutions can adopt to strengthen their commitment to inclusive design education.
