In celebration of World Industrial Design Day 2025, WDO is partnering with Andreu World to host a day of digital dialogue exploring ethics in design. Highlighting diverse perspectives and practical insights, the online event will be streamed live via WDO’s Youtube on 27 June and feature a rich mix of recorded and live sessions discussing the building blocks of ethical design.

 

How ethical design is learned and applied in academic settings, studios or within large industries is evolving. That’s why we are building a programme that showcases a wide range of topics, including:

Ethical dilemmas in design

Climate-conscious creation

Inclusive practices and accessibility 

Navigating emerging technologies

Rethinking power and design justice

Student and youth perspectives

From conversations with peers, to presentations and more creative formats, the virtual programme will feature 20-minute video contributions from designers across the globe.
