  ASPEN DESIGN SUMMIT
  JUNE 20-23
  ASPEN, COLORADO


http://aspendesignsummit.org

  Don't miss out on a life-changing experience at the Aspen Design Summit, 
where
  design leaders and professionals from business, government, culture and 
education
  will use the design process to brainstorm initiatives that promote 
worldwide,
  far-reaching change.

  It's also a chance to join the new guard of design, forming strategic 
partnerships
  that will serve as a catalyst for the next era of global innovative 
leadership.
  You'll work closely in a studio-based group, focusing on one of the 
following
  issues:

SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: Re-imagining the mechanisms and 
strategies
  for change in America's urban environments.

  EDUCATION INNOVATION: Creating high school programs and environments to 
engage
  all students and respond to the new three Rs: rigor, relevance and 
relationships.

  SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP: Launching a design revolution to put an end to 
poverty
  in developing countries.


  Read more about these issues, and how the Aspen Design Summit will work 
in this
  roundtable from Core77, featuring Summit moderator John Thackara, program 
director
  Dorothy Dunn, and studio leaders Adam French and Mark Randall.
