Event

France design week installation

During the France Design Week 2021, we organised our first event in Paris: “Design et Humanitaire: rencontres, convergences”. During this event, we invited 19 international speakers to start a conversation on “how does design serve the humanitarian sector?”; each feedback were collected and mapped in our installation. it was also a moment of gathering for our Community that met for the first time and made this event possible.

Find the recordings on our Youtube channel.

"We want to inspire designers to not do "business as usual" but rather take a strong ethical stand that follows their inner values."
