Seminar/workshop

Traditions in Contemporary Design is an event for all designers, entrepreneurs, marketers, makers, educators, students and the lovers of nice things.We all refer to the past. But how do successful designers perceive the cultural, industrial, or historical heritage and how are these themes reflected in their work? Do they use references consciously or unconsciously? Where and why do they decide to use the knowledge of traditions and how do they use it as their advantage?Three successful young designers will bring their unique insights into the modern and innovative use of the memories and traditions, which they refer to in their designs. They will tell why they chose traditional themes, processes or forms and create new values on their basis.

Seminar/workshop

In order to minimise the costs and maximise the effects of the study visits, this activity will be carried out immediately after the previous one in Slovakia, with participation of the same individuals from WB6. The two-day event would comprise a training in the first day, and the study visit on the same day, following the same logic as the training and study visit in Slovakia. The participation of WB representatives from respective policymaking institutions is expected not only to raise understanding and knowledge of these individuals on comparative policymaking systems, but also to have a wider positive effect on their fellow colleagues through the extension and share of the experience gained. In that manner, the practice and culture of cooperation between state and civil institutions are expected to be reinforced.
