EIDD – Design for All Summer School 2019. Interdisciplinary approaches in Design for All
We are very pleased to invite you to apply for the first Design for All Summer School to be organised by EIDD – Design for All Europe.
Following directly on the celebration of our 25th anniversary in 2018, EIDD – Design for All Europe is now further expanding its activities, creating a platform that aims to achieve greater sharing, creation and dissemination of knowledge.
The summer school is one of the actions now being undertaken by the EIDD academic working group, the ACANET, in order to stimulate professionals in Design for All thinking and doing. EIDD – Design for All Europe’s commitment is to create ambassadors all over Europe and to implement knowledge about Design for All in real time.
HOW?
During the week, participants will attend lectures and take part in interactive workshops focusing on real issues, for which they will end up making and creating real design solutions. In parallel with the active work, they will also have the opportunity to visit specialised companies and enterpreneurs that work with a Design for All strategy, as well as relevant institutions.
WHERE?
The 2019 summer school will take place in the beautiful town of Viana do Castelo in Portugal’s North region. Set in an area rich in historic and cultural heritage, Viana do Castelo is a coastal city with rich flavours and a well-deserved reputation for warm Portuguese hospitality and its excellent fresh seafood.
