Yet another edition of the international I.D.E.A. - International Design Education Award – with the participation of bright young brains from some of the most interesting design schools in Europe.

A comparison between the different ways of project making, steeped in heterogeneous cultures and traditions and finalised towards the transfer of skills, in order to obtain a constant up date in teaching methods.

Through I.D.E.A. Italy intends promoting and supporting international relations for the development of research models and advanced training, an ambition that has involved AFAM and thus permitted the inclusion of the “International Design Award” in the “National Arts Award”.

A principal exhibition, accompanied by various collateral shows, will present the numerous projects in the competition at the Piaggio Museum from November 19th, when the inauguration of the exhibition will also take place.
