How do designers truly design? How can they generate value through their work? Come explore this on IED orientation workshops in Germany.

It is common knowledge that Design sparks between creativity and intuition; this is obviously true but not enough. In order to realize any kind of project, from an object to a space, from a communication campaign to a fashion collection, a designer needs to follow a precise series of steps – an experience-based methodology.  

Ever heard of Design Thinking? If you’re curious to learn more, come join IED – Istituto Europeo di Design on our next tour of orientation workshops in Germany: Munich, Berlin and Hamburg.  

Not only will you explore the Design Thinking methodology, but you will learn the tools and processes used by designers in their daily professional life by trying them out yourself through a practical workshop activity.  

Led by Carlo Branzaglia, Scientific Coordinator of the Postgraduate School at IED Milano, the workshop is suitable for anyone interested in design, fashion, visual arts, communication or arts. If you are considering an Undergraduate or a Master program in Italy or Spain, this is a great opportunity to learn more about IED and its academic offering, including the admission process and Scholarships opportunities.  

Design is easy, if you know how to do it!  

Join us to learn how: 

  • Munich – 6th February 5.30 pm  MATES (Thierschstraße 20, 80538 Munich)   
  • Berlin – 7th February 5.30 pm  The Social Hub Berlin (Alexanderstraße 40, 10179 Berlin) 
  • Hamburg – 8th February 5.30 pm  Renaissance Hamburg Hotel (Große Bleichen, 20354 Hamburg)
