HOW TO? sessions
Circular design HOW TO? is a series of talks about the personal experiences of designers and circular economy experts on how to design for circular economy. In the sessions we avoid abstract concepts and discuss practical takeaways from circular design projects. The webinar is targeted to designers, circular economy and sustainability experts, company representatives, product developers, and others interested.
If you are a circular design professional and wish to contribute to the sessions by proposing topics and/or speakers, or if you wish to get updates on the upcoming HOW TO? sessions, write to us at: info@disainikeskus.ee
The event series is organised by Estonian Design Center and held in cooperation with the EcoDesign Circle project and its partners.
