Design for the World is an international humanitarian organisation that represents a large number of designers (graphic, product, architectural, etc.) who want to use their experience and creativity to help people in need. They want to make available their skills to those who most need them, beyond the confines of the consumer market.
Design for the World believes that people disadvantaged by poverty, war, disability, age or environmental conditions deserve equal access to practical design solutions that will improve their day-to-day lives.
From May to September 2004, Barcelona will host the Universal Forum of Cultures - first edition of a new large-scale international event that will bring together people from all over the world around three core themes: cultural diversity, sustainable development and conditions for peace.
They will show ideas, inventions and objects that contribute to a diverse, equitable, sustainable world. If you wish to participate helping to choose the projects that will be exhibited please send those objects that (already being used or under development) have improved, are improving or will improve the lives of people in need: refugees, people in developing countries, disabled people, marginalized groups, etc.
Send us your ideas from this site, or by e-mail to dw@designfortheworld.org.

|Creating a DIGITAL CULTURE

July 25, 2003 _competitions

2003 Taiwan International Design Competition
Digital technology will rapidly prevail. Soon everyone will be required to confront the digital society, although not everyone will be able to embrace it completely. That is why it is crucial to be able to predict future trends and developments based on social realities, human psychology and environmental factors, and to integrate these with technology in order to produce ergonomic products and interfaces. This will be the key to the success of digital products. We would like to extend our sincere invitation to designers to share their visions for the future, in order to draft a blue print for tomorrow's society.
On-line Registration until September 01, 2003. Submission of Entries from August 20 to September 03, 2003
