This November 2021 LatAM edition of P-R-E will allow to explore questions appropriate to regions in Latin / South America, taking into account cultural and linguistic contexts.
Cumulus and IxDA have launched a series of Practitioners, Researchers and Educators Days (P-R-E) to encourage focused conversations on identifying critical elements that further capacity building for designers, at different stages of their careers, from studies to professional practice to lifelong learning. These meetings take the form of working groups in partnership with institutions, academia, corporations, and policymakers, who are willing to push the global P-R-E agenda.
The Cumulus+IxDA partnership, with institutions and organisations from different parts of the world, creates diversified and constructed spaces for conversations building on the synergy of education and research expertise, brought by Cumulusians, along with the practitioners’ perspectives brought by IxDA and the local partners.
