SUSTAINABLE DESIGN SCHOOL

BESIGN The Sustainable Design School is an international school with the idea of a broader design approach thanks to the fertility of a diversified ground of growth. Its mission is to allow the encounter of a new generation of creative, curious students who are concerned about the planet, with enterprises and industries that are looking for new talents in design and sustainable innovation. The profound changes occurring on the world today require to approach innovation in an entirely different, radical way. By sharing reciprocal pedagogic and professional experiences, BESIGN is convinced that design, as a means of thinking, plays an essential role in new, sustainable innovation for all. This way of "design thinking" puts the person at the centre of the design, with a global and creative approach dedicated to design scenarios. They allow to rethink and discover new uses, to imagine original services, to create products and relevant business models in the current context of green growth. This methodology is broadened and enriched by overlapping with other fields of innovation: social sciences, engineering, architecture, marketing, management etc. and, on an international level, due to human and cultural diversity worldwide. Incoming exchange students are welcome to enrol for one or two consecutive semesters. Beyond courses, each exchange student will be part of a group of students working on a corporate project lasting one semester. Every corporate project is centred on Sustainable innovation. There is a buddy system for incoming students under the umbrella of a student association called ?welc?home?. BESIGN The Sustainable Design School is also partner with the European Innovation Academy held at Nice every year. During the event groups of students from international universities and with different study backgrounds (such as engineering, management, design) gather and work on innovative projects.
