An afternoon of exchange and reflection on fairness in design collaboration across Europe. Together with commissioners, cultural leaders, policymakers, and design professionals, we will explore how diverse cultural perspectives can shape fairer futures.
The event consists of four exciting roundtables joined by international guests from all around Europe, including the Academy of Arts, Architecture, and Design in Prague (UMPRUM).
Roundtable 1 – Rebuilding on Fair Grounds – Ethical, Collaborative & Sustainable Design in Post-War Ukraine
Guided by Dasha Tsapenko (bio-designer) and Fulco Treffers (architect and urban planner, CEO Ro3kvit).
Roundtable 2 – Design Weeks and City Development
Guided by Raluca Mirel (Romanian Design Week) and the Romanian Cultural Institute, this session explores the role design initiatives can play in shaping urban life and rethinking how people engage with public space.
Roundtable 3 – Ensuring EU Open Calls Reach Diverse Voices
Hosted by EIT Culture & Creativity and DutchCulture | Creative Europe Desk NL, this session introduces two major EU funding schemes that provide funding and networking opportunities to foster cultural collaboration in Europe and beyond.
Roundtable 4 – Fair Collaboration in Design Education
With contributions from Klára Peloušková, Veronika Miškovičová, and Kateřina Krebsová, the discussion will spotlight SHIFT Lab, UMPRUM’s cross-disciplinary programme that integrates circularity and ecological awareness into design education—co-hosted by UMPRUM Prague and the Czech Centre Brussels.
