The All-Russian Decorative Art Museum and National Research University Higher School of Economics with the support of Rossotrudnichestvo will organize a strategic forum "Time for Design Diplomacy" as a part of the World Industrial Design Day celebration on June 29, 2023.
In 2007 the World Design Organization introduced its professional holiday to mark its 50th anniversary. This day is traditionally celebrated by the design community with a programme of special events to strengthen networking, support sustainable development and the growth of the creative economy.
Today industry leaders act as global ambassadors in promoting the power of design and design thinking principles, where diplomacy as a soft power policy tool plays an important role.
The role of diplomacy as a space where design mediates communication between countries? How is design diplomacy developing in the context of discussions about national identity and globalization of the industry? Experts will also discuss the importance of dialogue between the creative industries of the CIS and South-East Asia, translation of the cultural code through design as a competitive advantage, as well as opportunities for joint projects in the field of professional education.
The event will be held in a hybrid format using the VK Calls video conferencing platform.
A link to the broadcast will be posted on the event page two days prior to the forum.
