With the EDF international we are concentrating on the relevance of design and art in an economic and social contexts. Workshops, networking events and field trips are going to shine a light on the sustainability scenes of design and art in Israel, Palestine and Germany. Additionally we are welcoming guests from our twin towns Istanbul/Turkey and Barcelona/Spain.
Designers, artists, creative thinkers and cultural protagonists are meeting up with sustainability experts to exchange thoughts about the relevance of design and art in the fields of economy and society and to learn from each other.
The workshops – on the one hand – will be focusing on how sustainability can grow into a unique selling proposition within the creative industries. On the other hand, we want to take a closer look at how more and more designers are recognising their social and ecological responsibility and have started dedicating themselves to sustainability. We actively want to support designers, artists and other creative people in their efforts to positively influence society, educational systems, culture and the economy.
Therefore we are planning two workshop blocks, two days each, in Tel Aviv as well as Auja, combined with field trips in Tel Aviv and Bethlehem and other exciting locations of local creativity and sustainability.
