The main purpose of our projects is to find practical solutions to global issues through collective work and guide young creative minds to have the necessary training to contribute to the well-being of our world as future professionals and leaders. The design proposals will be evaluated considering their capacity to offer solutions to the issues in question and their positive impact on societal well-being.
Through our projects, we hope to provide a platform for future designers, architects, artists, and engineers who are committed to bringing about positive social and environmental change to unite through research, dialogue, and collaboration in order to provide real help, effect real change, and raise social awareness. We not only build spaces with our designs, but we also help to build lives.
For us, architecture, design, engineering, and even art are more than just problem-solving and product or space creation tools; they are also ways of contributing to people's physical and mental well-being. We carry out inspiring research and design processes, as well as architectural spaces and products created through decision-making mechanisms that allow user participation, with the help of our partners and volunteers. During our workshop series, which will be led by members of the expert Advisory Board, Executive Team, and Master Team, our Advisory Board members will organize a series of lectures, which we hope will contribute to our students' education.
Through our programs, we hope to provide insight to young people in discovering different learning and design development techniques; identifying, deconstructing, and solving problems; using design as a tool to express distinct ideas; and thus, imagining a better world and future. Participating students, who will have the opportunity to receive training from leading experts and educators, will also gain knowledge and experience of other cultures, countries, and humanitarian work at the end of the design process which they will lead alongside their teammates.
Whether the lectures are given by eminent architects or by experts in other fields, the ultimate goal of the lecture series is to advance the participants' knowledge and technical know-how so that they can incorporate that experience into their work.
The content of the lecture series will be made available along with the project announcement. Following the completion of the workshops, the lecture recordings will be archived on our website.
After the competitions, we collaborate with our partners and experts to realize the winning ideas, share the creative outcomes with the public, and encourage winners to build a better future through design by providing them with the necessary experience and recognition.
We encourage you to take advantage of all the benefits of attending such events, whether you want to present or simply attend.The Design+Peace conference series are great opportunities to network with professionals, learn from the industry's top experts, meet cutting-edge solution providers, and get inspired.
We organize these events to reach a wider audience; raise more public awareness; share our experience and knowledge through workshops, lectures, and exhibitions; and establish new professional connections.
On Design+Peace Day, we celebrate the success and the end of the volunteer program and hard work of our teams, relax and create lasting memories together with our teammates and the local community. Also, the press is invited to this event to raise awareness, inform the public about the process, and thus inspire those who aspire to practice humanitarian design.
