A Look into 2023 Taiwan International Student Design Competition’s Promotional Campaign – Korea – Korean Federation of Design Associations (KFDA), Seoul Design Foundation (SDF) , Korea Ensemble of Contemporary Design (KECD), May 2nd

Project Director Prof. Apex Lin led the promotional campaign in Korea, and meet the President of the Korean Federation of Design Associations (KFDA), Kim Hyunsun, and the President of Seoul Design Foundation (SDF), Kwon Young Gull at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) on May 2nd. The visit was arranged by Mr. Yoo Yoonho, who is the President of Korea Ensemble of Contemporary Design (KECD).

Through this exchange opportunity, Professor Pang-Soong Lin introduced TISDC, the Design Talent Cultivation Project of the Ministry of Education in Taiwan. Because of the support of multiple foundations and cooperation platforms, TISDC has become more robust and large-scale.

Moreover, Professor Lin introduced the theme of TISDC this year “Compassion” is in accordance with the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015. We hope to encourage students of all nations to observe and care about the issues around them and in the world. With a design mindset of empathy and solicitude, they can make the world a better place.

Professor Lin also mentioned the cooperative relationship between TISDC and 22 international design associations around the world. The exchange process was very successful. We believe that it can further promote design exchange between Taiwan , Korea and encourage more students from Korea University or College of Design to participate in this year’s competition and also join the TISDC art school platform to have a long-term cooperation relationship through this interaction.
