A Look into 2018 Taiwan International Student Design Competition’s Promotional Campaign International Creativity Forum-A+ Creative Festival, May 18th

On the journey of design learning, students accumulate experience and fundamental skills along the way. But there is still a long way to go for them to become a “master” of design. This year the Taiwan International Student Design Competition joined hands with the A+ Creative Festival and launched the International Creativity Forum in the evening of May 18th. The two invited designers from the countries included in the New Southbound Policy, Tri Anugrah form Indonesia, Ashish Deshpande from India and the Singapore based British designer Federico Fiore to share with the students their first hand experience, the concepts originated from their personal works and design culture in different countries. Through their sharing, we hope the students get to learn how design is applied into the daily life and ponder the nature and meaning of design. 

The New Southbound Policy aims to find new directions and momentum for the society and economic development of Taiwan. Such is also true for soft power, including culture and design, as the ever evolving and innovative design thinking is in need of new direction. We look forward to having more close cooperation with the ASEAN countries, the southern Asia countries, New Zealand and Australia, and establish a stronger and more in depth bound and exchanges with these countries.
