As well as the poster competition, this year for the first time we’ll be running a series of workshops across Africa to give young African designers the chance to work with some of the leading designers in the world.

We believe passionately that young people are the future of the world, and that with these workshops we can provide young African designers with a set of tools and contacts that will give them better access to the international market, and to set up a longer term platform for design in their own countries.

We will host workshops in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Mali, Morocco, South Africa, Tunisia and Zimbabwe. This will be led by a team of leading designers from across the world working in Europe and America, such as Reza Abedini (Iran), Michal Batory (France), Yossi Lemel (Israel), Guy Schockaert (Belgium), Niklaus Troxler (Switzerland), amongst others.

But to do all this, we need help. Financial help to be precise. We’re extremely grateful for any contribution. In return you’ll become a partner of our project and be featured in our annual book that will be published at the end of 2011.
