Are you Designing for Planet?
In this Innovations in Practice session, leading HEIs will share how they are embedding the Design Council's Skills for Planet Blueprint and Learning Outcomes which have been co-designed for creative educators in HE to use as a template for course design, revalidation and mapping existing course provision.
''The Blueprint defines the critical green skills that all designers need and establishes a shared language across the design sector." Rachel Bronstein, Senior Skills Manager, Design Council.
Our sector has an outstanding record in delivering sustainable design courses, modelling sustainable practice in the studio and setting assignment briefs incorporating green design skills. This session will highlight existing good practice by showcasing how course designers, technicians and educators are accelerating the delivery of green skills programmes and embedding the six skills areas in applied practice. Attendees will be encouraged to access the green design skills self-assessment tools to map your course provision against the blueprint.
Presentations will be themed into the following areas:
Evaluating Green Impact
Regenerating Nature
Embedding Circularity
Eliminating Emissions
Empowering Green Communities
Influencing Green Behaviour
''Without course designers adopting the blueprint the green transition is unattainable.'' Sandra Booth, Director of Policy and External Relations, CHEAD.
This event is a knowledge sharing opportunity for Design Educators.
In one short session you will hear six different ways to deliver green skills within your own teaching practice.
Event schedule to follow.
