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.
