EDUCATORS FORUM
The CIAAD Educators Forum is a meeting of educators from different design disciplines that takes place once every two years at a leading institution. The CIAAD Board is responsible for organizing the forum in coordination with the educational members of CIAAD and its Advisory Board.
In a friendly and open forum, participants can share new ideas and approaches whilst at the same time learning from other attendees across design boundaries and geographies. The educators creatively leverage design as a tool for social and environmental justice.
In this manner of collaboration and coercion across the academic and professional spheres the creative outcomes will help determine the learning methods of the future. Attendees will take new ideas and experiences back to their respective institutions and broadcast the messages to their own faculties and students without compromising their own identities and individual curricula. CIAAD educators inspire their students to take risks and burnish their creativity by crossing disciplines. They lead them to move beyond the obvious without being afraid of making mistakes.
The ultimate goals of the CIAAD Forum are the progression of current methods and the gaining of more consistent and high global standards.
