Workshop / WP3 - A 3.1. Development of a Generalized Teaching Framework on Design for EDI

October 25, 2024

Place: Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Katowice, Poland

WP Leader: Faculty of Architecture and Design STU in Bratislava

Partners: UNICH, ASP, ELISAVA

The EDIDesK project is moving forward! After completing WP2, we've kicked off the activities for WP3, focusing on developing an EU Framework for "Design for EDI" and testing it with students and stakeholders.

🔍 On October 25, 2024, our project partners hosted a workshop at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Katowice to dive deeper into Activity 3.1: Developing a Generalized Teaching Framework on Design for EDI.

WP3 aims to create scalable and replicable methodologies for designing inclusive educational content in fields like product design, service design, communication, and architecture. We'll be developing accessible materials for creating thematic content, lectures, and seminars for both UG and PG modules.

Stay tuned for the first results—we can't wait to share them with you! 🚀

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) play a crucial role in Design education by fostering innovation through diverse perspectives. EDI ensures equal opportunities for all students, improving learning outcomes and promoting a more socially aware design culture. Integrating EDI into Design education nurtures empathetic professionals capable of creating inclusive, equitable, and forward-thinking design solutions.

The presentation will highlight current EDI approaches in higher education design programs, showcase best practices for achieving EDI objectives, and introduce digital tools that support high-quality education.
