It was conducted by Anaïs Esmerado, social innovator and specialist in participatory projects, Director and Founder of Ojalá Project.

The Corporate Welcome was held on the following day, where the participants of the previous day were joined by students of the Postgraduate in Event Design and Management and the Specialization Course in Interior Design and Conceptualisation.

Andrea Marchesi, Director of IED Barcelona, ​​provided an official welcome, urging them to make the most of all the opportunities that their time at IED would offer, and emphasising the need to use design for the common good. Next, Marina Ojan, Director of the Master School, was in charge of introducing the academic part of the event, and invited them to continue to the last activity of the Welcome event: the presentation ‘Regenerative Culture, Design and Communication’ by Gabriela Pedranti, Teacher and Partner & Co-founder of Semiotica Studio.

The event ended with a Q&A session open to the students.
