Testimonials
Each year brings its own challenges, always increasingly complex and which seem ever more unattainable. Design could help us to find our path, to discover solutions and to move forward. Overall, creativity, in all its forms, has the power to improve our life and that of others around us. Our strength will grow in building collaborations, taking care of our neighbours and being respectful of the planet.
Isabelle Vérilhac
BEDA President
The world is complex enough at the moment. Climate change requires our constant attention — and more, our immediate actions — and the current pandemic demands our attention as much. Design has always been able to react to changes in the world around us. Now that the changes are of larger scale than ever before, reacting is not enough. Design must proactively support strategic processes, forecasting, identifying risks. All in the end to ensure that people and planet both not only survive but can flourish, also for future generations.
