KIDP to organize 4th International Integrated Design Camp April 28, 2021

[Calling for participants (students & tutors)]





The Korea Institute of Design Promotion (KIDP) is organizing its 4th annual International Integrated Design Camp (IIDC), to be held for two weeks from June 26 to July 10.

This year, the IIDC will be held under the theme of “Zero Waste: Towards Sustainable and Enjoyable Living”. Projects covered during the camp will observe the changes currently being made in society from a designer’s point of view, such as the cradle-to-cradle and reduce-reuse-recycle movements. Participating students, in teams made up of people from diverse backgrounds, and under the guidance of professional tutors from global companies and organizations, will deliver products, systems and services that may efficiently promote and contribute to a sustainable and enjoyable life.


Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, IIDC 2021 will be mainly held online. However, KIDP will open up its facilities to a limited number of teams who wish to proceed with their project(s) offline whilst abiding by the South Korean government’s COVID-19 guidelines.

For those interested in participating either as a student or as a tutor, please contact Ms. Nara SUH at edu@kidp.or.kr.
