📋 Tender Overview
Objectives
Context/background: The EU creative industry requires HEIs to train graduates in Design for EDI (Equality, Diversity, Inclusion). Biased teaching contents on EDI and knowledge fragmentation prevent graduates from being prepared to work in future markets.
Objectives: This project aims to improve the teaching of Design for EDI into the EU’s HE system by using digital open access tools.
Participants: The project involves five EU HEIs and two NGOs with extensive experience in Design and Inclusion.
Activities
Activities: 1. Knowledge systematisation on Design and EDI; 2. Creation of an EU teaching framework on Design for EDI. 3. Creation of a digital learning platform to access (upload and download) open access multi-language contents on Design for EDI for different subjects. 4. Promotion activities to engage stakeholders and raise awareness on the project and its results.
Methodology: Creation of a digital work environment to allow all partners to cooperate and produce joint high-quality results.
Impact
Results/impact/benefits: A digital learning platform delivering open access multi-language contents on Design for EDI will allow staff and students to access lectures, modules, seminars, etc. in an inclusive modality. Ready-to-use contents will impact the HE sector by reducing students gaps on Design and EDI for a variety of subjects (i.e., industrial design, architecture, etc.). The platform will create critical masses of scholars and contents on EDI for long-term improvements of the HE sector.
