Welcome to the Global Design Initiative 2.0

At the end of February 24, we successfully closed this year´s workshop and board meeting in Singapore hosted by Lasalle College of the Arts Singapore. This event was the beginning of GDI 2.0 and the coming year will be the next step in an exciting journey of the Global Design Initiative.

With KISD (Germany) being the next host, GDI aims to explore new opportunities. We are excited to have Shanghai Insititute of Visual Arts (SIVA) as a guest school joining the upcoming workshop. Based on the strong interest of different schools, we are planning to extend the Global Design Education Forum and invite previous and future partners to the 10th anniversary of GDI in Cologne in February 2025!
