Wrapping up Day 2, and Conversations at Conscious Collective, was a thought provoking discussion on addressing critical gaps in design education: the disconnect between theoretical learning and practical, real-world application. We are grateful to our prestigious panel for answering key questions like: Is design education fostering the right skills to meet emerging needs? Does it promote creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving, or is it too focused on rigid theory? Leaving the audience with plenty of perspectives and ideas to ponder over, we are grateful to all those who made Conversations at Conscious Collective a massive success!
