In 2019 I also founded Design Education Forum that brings specialists from all over the world, to share their teaching experience and their similarities and differences in teaching Art and Design at an international level, while rediscovering the common language of visual communication and proposing creative, direct and applicable solutions to the many challenges that affect design education today.
