The Design Retreat offers emerging talents from the Swiss design industry, DPS alumni, and the DPS commu­nity of all ages the oppor­tu­nity to take conscious time (offline) at a special loca­tion over several days to reflect on their own projects and work methods. Experts provide engaging inputs on topics such as circular design and inno­va­tion, as well as strate­gies for dividing everyday work sustain­ably into a healthy “work­flow.” Exclu­sive insights into food design build a thematic bridge between circular economy, produc­tivity, sustain­able consump­tion, and design.

This creates added value on multiple levels:

 

  • Knowl­edge transfer on topics such as circular design, inno­va­tion, and food design is promoted.
  • Discus­sions about personal projects and the estab­lish­ment of a healthy work culture lead to new insights.
  • The shared expe­ri­ence of the new Design Retreat format sustain­ably expands the network among talents from the Swiss design industry, DPS alumni, and experts from various design disci­plines.
