The journal FormAkademisk has published a special issue titled ‘Perspectives on Design literacy’. Researchers from different countries including Chile, China, Norway, Singapore, Sweden and Turkey have contributed with aspects of design literacy at different levels of design education.

The event will be a panel presentation and discussion with the community.
