19 March 2018 Design students are the future. They are stimulated to see the design discipline from new angles, they influence the way we think and they make us critical about our lifestyle choices. In this rapidly changing world, it has become essential that academies develop methods to ensure students leave school with the necessary skills and resilience to confront our time. We sat down with some of the professors and education makers of the participating academies to cross-examine them on the status quo of design education and to hear about their Ventura Future exhibitions.
