World class collaborations for sustainable design

The Eco Design Initiative is pioneering the sustainable movement for South Africa by engaging global youth in a sustainable design program that includes an annual competition, the development of educational content, workshops, exhibitions and international exchanges. The Eco Design Initiative connects South African and Swedish organizations in a knowledge and culture exchange programme.

The Eco Design Initiative will host the Fresh Talent Workshop and the launch of Sustainable Design Showcase at Cape Town City Hall and the social design intervention at Sakumlandela Primary School in Khayelitsha, 7 – 16 March 2012.

Armed with specially designed investigative tool-kits, the young learners have been documenting information about their lives at home, school and in their communities.
