On 8 October, as part of the official programme of Barcelona Design Week 2025, IED will present “IED CREATIVE OPTIMISM,” a celebration of creative optimism that includes a workshop and an exhibition with a positive perspective on creativity and design.

 

Workshop: “Strategic Design for Regenerative Futures”

 

Date: 8 October at 4 pm

Location: IED Barcelona Point One (C/Biada, 11, 08012 Barcelona)

The future is not predetermined; it is built through intentional choices and actions. Based on this approach and design as a powerful tool for social transformation, in this workshop we will bridge the gap between what exists and what could exist, seeking positive signs in what will shape our own destinies and transforming the abstract into a concrete strategy for change with an optimistic outlook.

Co-facilitated with: Javier Tejedor, Experience & Service Designer at NACAR DESIGN

Language: English.
