Intertwinia in Design Education
In today’s increasingly interconnected world, the field of design education finds itself at a pivotal juncture, demanding unified and collaborative approaches to tackle emerging challenges and opportunities. The 2025 edition of LearnXDesign conference underscores the significance of integrating diverse perspectives, disciplines, communities and cultures. This conference intends to serve as a hub for nurturing meaningful interactions, stretching traditional boundaries and encouraging the intersection of expertise. By intertwining these threads, our goal is to catalyse unforeseen and transformative outcomes for design education, leading to the creation of a new Intertwinia.
