Nurturing Planetary Citizens: Developing Regenerative More-than-Human Pedagogy in Design Education

Activity: Talk or presentation typesInvited talk

Description

In this Innovations in Practice session the Design Council and Bath Spa University will share 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. But we can and must do more. Only 50% of designers feel that their education has provided them (to a moderate or large extent) with green design skills. Design Economy Report: The Environmental and Social Value of Design, Design Council 2025.

This session will highlight existing good practice by showcasing how course designers are accelerating the delivery of green skills programmes and embedding the six skills areas in applied practice.
