About This Webinar

The world is changing faster than ever–socially, technologically, environmentally, politically, and
economically. In the midst of these shifting needs, new career opportunities are emerging very
fast. The P21 model lists critical thinking and creativity amongst the twelve “21st-century skills” that students need to succeed during today’s information age. Design Professionals with their unique creative problem-solving abilities and design-thinking are sought out by organisations to lead innovation, both globally and within India.

Design is everywhere! It is no longer just about crafting beautiful objects. Communicating through
apps on earth; astronauts communicating in space through devices on their helmets; creating
vegan leather from banana trees; climate-responsive architecture for sustainability - these are just a few examples of what Designers make possible with their special abilities. Design gives you the power to create change and transform the world.

Join us for a webinar “The Future of Design after COVID 19” on 18th May 2020 at 5:00 PM,
where experienced educationists and professionals discuss career opportunities in the field of
Design. For students, knowing about these career possibilities can help formulate an educational
path and make this major decision about their future
