IED and the Design Institute Tbilisi have collaborated to elevate design education worldwide. The goal is to foster a diverse community of designers beyond geographical boundaries.

IED - Istituto Europeo di Design is excited to announce a partnership with Design Institute Tbilisi, Georgia, aiming to globalize design education and facilitate learning among students worldwide. This partnership aligns with our mutual goal to unite global designers through projects and workshops that prioritize environmental sustainability, technological innovation, and the melding of traditional and contemporary crafting techniques.

This unique event blended in-person and online elements, attracting budding designers keen on enhancing their portfolio skills with a focus on storytelling, personal branding, and strategic presentation
