IED Joins Forces with SUNDAZE for an Inspiring Blend of Sustainability, Creativity, and Music

We are thrilled to announce that IED – Istituto Europeo di Design – will be partnering with SUNDAZE, a vibrant festival that seamlessly combines music, art, sustainability, and innovation. This collaboration aligns perfectly with IED’s commitment to fostering sustainable practices within the creative industries. 

As part of the event, IED will be hosting an exclusive workshop on eco-conscious design, offering participants the chance to explore innovative approaches to sustainable production. Additionally, Frances Venneri, an expert in sustainable design and lecturer at IED, will join a panel discussion titled “Circular Practices in Design and Fashion: Does Sustainability Really Work?”. This engaging talk will address critical questions about sustainability in both large and small brands, examining issues like greenwashing versus authentic industry shifts. 

This is a unique opportunity for prospective students interested in IED to gain practical insights and learn from one of our leading sustainability experts. Whether your passion lies in fashion, design, or communication, this event will offer invaluable perspectives on how sustainability is reshaping the creative world. 

We warmly invite all aspiring IED students to join us at SUNDAZE for this exciting experience. Register now on the SUNDAZE website (https://sundaze.life/design-workshop) to secure your spot! 

And don’t forget—SUNDAZE is also a music festival! After the talks, the party begins. Check out the full program here #entrancewithFRUIT (sundaze.life)
