25th january 2023 at 15.00 UTC – DESIS Café hosted by Art + Design: elearning Lab from Cyprus University of Technology in Limassol, Cyprus.
DESIS Café is a virtual place where DESIS Labs can meet and talk about their activities, expectations, thoughts, research, projects, etc. It’s a place to reinforce connections within the community and exchange knowledge about good practices and difficulties of projects, and actions.
Our host message for this DESIS Café is about “Designing the education of social design”.
“The paradigm shift in design education from objects to systems in the period 2000-2020 and the proliferation of social design programmes of study in Higher Education (HE), has inevitably brought the education of social design to the forefront of academic interest. The early social designers were pioneers practising in an area that did not draw upon their formal HE qualifications. Now, however, as design educators we are confronted with the educational challenge to design programmes of study that can address the competencies and knowledge our graduates require to become effective social designers.”
