SYNOPSIS

Working in and through the arts becomes a way to help people meet the economic, ecological and social challenges of the future. Every problem we face will be easier to solve if we have inter-connected, engaged, resilient, creative communities. Design Camp [D.C], aims to help strengthen the creative design process for designers and non-designers who are interested in developing their creative practice. The workshop aimed to connect participants to the design community and help them understand their niche within the design sub-communities. The three-day workshop was conducted by three design educators - Dr. Jawaher Al Bader, Dr. Fahad A. Dhawi and Dr. Roma Madan-Soni. D.C was open for up to 40 registered participants. The workshop was part of Nuqat Regional Conference 2019, Kuwait.
