PREDAYS India
PREDAYS India is a part of a series of workshops around Interaction Design by CUMULUS and IxDA. The PREDAYS model brings together Practitioners, Researchers and Educators (P-R-E-) to encourage focused conversations on identifying critical elements that further capacity building for designers, at different stages of their careers, from studies to professional practice to lifelong learning. These meetings take the form of working groups in partnership with institutions, academia, corporations, and policymakers, who are willing to push the global P-R-E- agenda.
The focus will be on:
- mapping topics important for the designers
- revisit the matrix skills set by IxDA+Cumulus in previous workshops in Lyon and Paris
- connecting education agendas between different institutions
- expressing practitioners and educators zones of knowledge amplification
The insights from the IDC Ahmedabad workshop will build on previous education meeting in India (i.e. with Nasscom) in order to further the design education roadmap in dialogue with researchers and practitioners.
