Dundee is the UK’s only UNESCO City of Design and has been a part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network since 2014. There are 31 UNESCO Design Cities across the world and each shares a commitment to using design to improve the lives of the people who make those cities their home.
In October, twenty-two of the UNESCO Cities of Design will be in Dundee for their annual sub-network meeting and they will share with us, what makes their city special at this one-off event, Global UNESCO Design Cities Powered by PechaKucha, 6.30pm – 8.30pm on Tuesday 16 October 2018 at The Steeple.
In partnership with Dundee’s UNESCO City of Design team, Creative Dundee will be running the popular PechaKucha style night with this extra special focus! Eight of the cities of design will talk about aspects of design which make their cities better to live and work in. Speakers will include Kortrijk in Belgium, Shenzhen in China, Puebla in Mexico, Torino in Italy and more to be announced!
If you are interested in creativity, design, cities, international working or simply enjoy the format, we think this night is for you. Find out a little bit more about what we can learn from our global partners and their representatives from Brasilia, Cape Town, Detroit, Dubai, Geelong, Graz, Helsinki, Istanbul, Kaunas, Kobe, Kolding, Kortrijk, Montreal, Nagoya, Puebla, Shenzhen, Singapore, Torino, Wuhan.
Tickets are free, but please do book tickets in advance – this event will be live-streamed. There will also be an interactive showcase of video games from Abertay University’s Dare Academy on the night.
