The World Youth Designer Forum (WYDF), a cumulative accelerator and incubator discourse, explores the 2017 theme " Design Interventions: Nationalism vs Globalism. With international participation, WYDF discusses, debates and explores vital, cutting-edge issues and ideas affecting life and the built environment. Poised at the edge of progressive thinking, WYDF will convene at the Fringe to provoke a multicultural design exchange for deeper understanding of what commonly affects people and culture across the world. Engaging all societal sectors, discussions evaluate the status quo to imagine possibilities and opportunities that align with responsibility and creativity.
