San Diego-Tijuana is the 2024 World Design Capital. They are the World Design Organization’s first binational designation, including our tribal governments. They are addressing our region's most pressing issues by designing more equitable futures at, and across, the border. The Educators Alliance, housed in the Design Lab at UCSD, is a bi-national group of organizations and programs from K-12, pre-college programs, colleges, and universities. They are focused on sharing ideas, methods and design tools for students, teachers, administrators and lifelong learners. Formed in 2013, The Design Academy, a WDC 2024 education lead, helps organizations innovate, improve processes and solve challenges by applying the principles of human-centered design and interdisciplinary knowledge. The Design Academy has formalized and custom design thinking training programs.

Moving from inspiration to action requires education, a key cornerstone of the San Diego-Tijuana World Design Capital 2024 which aims to leverage this global platform to accelerate education in design.
Join us for a workshop to hear about the latest update on the WDC 2024 and its education strategy. Through a series of facilitated in-person and online interactions, brainstorm to apply human-centered design thinking to transform and improve everyday life, and unlock the wealth of design expertise in our region. The outcome of this engagement will help us create a unified language and alignment around human-centered design education as we move into the World Design Capital 2024.
