Get-together, following field trip to Zeche Zollverein

Day 2-3:
Participation in the congress:
»The Future of Sustainable Products and Services« Innovation Conference

Day 4-7:
Parallel design workshops with different focused subjects (i.e. rituals, area of needs etc.) including evening talks with Prof. Dr. Schmidt-Bleek and Michael Radau about new products and servicesin a dematerialized world.

Day 7:
Group presentations. Visit to Insel Hombroich.

As an introduction to the subject the students will participate in the first two workshop days of the international congress

»The Future of Sustainable Products and Services« Innovation Conference, 28./29.09.09, where renowned experts on business, science, ecology and sustainability will present the latest research results on sustainable issues. On the third day the students will be grouped into teams

(4 to 6 students). They will be introduced to the working methodology of the workshops, which will continue for 4 days in total. An experienced team of professors will guide the workshops.

At the end of each workshop day the students will have the possibility to share their ideas and their experience with an expert in eco-efficiency, like Prof. Dr. Schmidt-Bleek (President, Factor 10 Institute) and eco-business, like Michael Radau, (CEO, SuperBioMarkt AG).

Good 50×70 social communication workshops June 2, 2009

Good 50×70 is organizing three social communication workshops led by jury members from the contest: Alain Le Quernec, Woody Pirtle and Yossi Lemel. The workshops, in line with Good 50×70’s philosophy, aim to broaden designers and design students’ perspective on design and visual communication by using their creativity to address social issues.

The classes will be given in the Milanese schools NABA, IED and Accademia di Comunicazione in the days 15, 16 and 17 of June 2009, from 9.00 to 13.00.
All the workshops will be given in English. Each teacher will be assisted by a translator to help them communicate with the students in Italian.

To know more about it or to register for one of the workshops please check the website or download the PDF available in English and Italian

The Epidemic of Fear
Alain Le Quernec

The recent paranoia in Mexico about the outbreak of the new H1V1 “swine” flu and the earlier case of H5N1 “bird” flu in Asia. The link between these epidemics is that they spread more virulently amongst the media rather than people.
What is the meaning of this new global fear that makes our governments try and isolate countries by sealing their borders?

World War III
Yossi Lemel

World War III. The potential (and hopefully hypothetical) successor to World War II. We’ll assume it would be on a global scale and most likely nuclear and devastating in nature. This war has been anticipated and planned for by military and civil authorities, and explored in fiction in countless countries. Concepts have ranged from the limited use of atomic weapons, to the complete destruction of our planet.

Recycling on a mega scale
Woody Pirtle

We live in times where natural resources are constantly diminishing and water, air and space cannot be taken for granted anymore. Soaring prime material prices and Peak Oil are making us rethink our design processes and make them adapt to real human needs rather than marketing strategies.
Bringing design closer to people’s needs also means reshaping our cities to make them easier, and more pleasant, to live in. For example, many (abandoned) industrial spaces can be reclaimed and used more productively. A 1890 railroad bridge on the Hudson river, which had been closed since the 1960s, is a perfect example of these new possibilities. Once converted, it will be the world’s longest pedestrian bridge.

Historically posters have been inextricably linked with cause-related campaigns. Visually striking, often iconic and frequently iconoclastic, posters grab the attention like no other medium. They effectively help spread a succinct message and in doing so shift attitudes and contribute to significant changes within society.

The brief is to design a poster that delivers the message ‘Be a Part of the Action’ – this does not necessarily have to be expressed in words. The poster could bear witness to catastrophic environmental damage and in doing so, cause outrage. Alternatively the poster could actively encourage peaceful protest to expose an environmental problem.

Above all, the poster needs to raise awareness of environmental issues and inspire action.

The purpose of Greenpeace Design Awards is to acknowledge the achievements of the most innovative and creative individuals whose work best reflects environmental concerns in a visually striking and iconic way.

Entrants will have a chance to bring about real change in society as their work will be considered for use for major Greenpeace Australian Pacific campaigns.

In recognition of the excellence in design, the winning entrants will be awarded a unique Greenpeace Design Awards trophy.
