All sessions will be held in person and will be facilitated by MMU’s Design Department and The Design Village, team in Noida, India.

The 3 project days will be structured using the Double Diamond Design Model: Discover, Define, Develop, Deliver.

In collaborative, international online/in-person teams, participating students will explore Healthy wellbeing at work (Sustainable Development Goal 3) and work together to discover issues within existing spaces of learning.

From these defined insights, teams will develop ideas for future learning spaces, that connect and inspire the designers of a future to look forward to.

Design proposals will be delivered at the end of the project to achieve RISE points and RISE digital badges in Internationalisation and Sustainability.
