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

  • 25 lug
ree

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.
