Make Do & Mend
Mend, Do and Make - Royal Designers Summer Session 2024
Friday 27 September - Sunday 29 September 2024
at Dartington Hall, Devon
The Royal Designers invite applications from early-career designers, scientists and
engineers from all backgrounds to join us at our three-day residential Summer Session
at Dartington Hall in Devon. If you have between three and fifteen years of professional
experience, you are eligible to apply. Deadline 1 July, 2024.
Successful applicants will join twelve Royal Designers and eight ‘wildcards’ over three
days and two nights. The Session’s full complement of sixty provides a chance for
cross-inspiration, reflection and activity as we share experience and search for insight.
Mend, Do and Make
This year's theme is "Mend, Do and Make". Can a kinship of design, science and
thought help mend our planet through ingenuity and empathy?
We extend an invitation to join this conversation - to those finding their feet or looking
for a catalyst or safe harbour; beyond formal education with its curriculum, classes and
friends; to those moving beyond a first job, a teacher, or a mentor; to those who may
want to engage with kindred spirits that spark them into the next phase of life and
work.
No charge for attendees
Supported by the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851, we are delighted to offer
free places to all successful candidates including accommodation, meals, and
transport from London. Up to forty of these places are available.
