Global Design Education in Post-Pandemic, New Engineering New Design International Seminar

Design education always thrives on global collaboration. However, the pandemic has significantly changed the ways we live, work and collaborate. How it means for design education. How the global design education will go in the post-pandemic age. How we can learn and teach design in the future. In this seminar, we invite four design educators from USA, Canada, Netherlands and Brazil to share their perspectives. We would like to organize it in a more compact but dedicated way that each people will have a short presentation, then following with a concrete panel discussion. We hope the conversation could bring us some food for thought at this point. Welcome all students, educators and friends from industries to join us.

      设计教育始终因全球合作而繁荣。然后疫情已然改变了我们生活、工作和协作的方式。这对于设计教育意味着什么?后疫情时代的全球设计教育将去向何方?未来我们该如何学和教设计?本次论坛我们邀请到来自美国、加拿大、荷兰和巴西的四位设计教育者谈谈他们的观点。我们希望把它组织成一个更紧凑和专注的交流方式,让每位学者在简短报告之后,有比较深入的圆桌讨论时间。我们愿这次对话为此时的我们带来一些思想与思考。热烈欢迎所有对此话题感兴趣的同学、教育者和设计行业的朋友们加入我们。
