DESIGN SHIP – interdisciplinary education & workshops

Interdisciplinary education and labour training workshops within the EU cross-border project DesignSHIP – Integration and Education of Students, Graduates and SME’s in terms of Industrial Design Management.

The main objective of this project is to stimulate and anchor the notion of design in the South Baltic Region through inter- disciplinary education and labour trainings, knowledge transfer and exchange of practices among students, graduates and young professionals from the fields of design, technology and business. The Swedish Industrial Design Foundation SVID along with its project partners from Poland and Germany are organising 3 interactive and interdisciplinary education and training workshops that will take place in April, July and September 2012 in Wismar, Gdynia and Malmö respectively.

This project initiative will gather 30 selected German, Polish and Swedish students, graduates and young professionals from the disciplines of technology, business and design who will research problems, challenges and opportunities prevailing in the industrial design sector from technical, economic and design perspective. The focus here is on educa- tion and training of participants, experience exchange among them and knowledge transfer from a group of competent experts who will accompany participants during the entire course of the workshop.
