Master of Design for Kids & Toys

The Specializing Master, in e-learning mode, aims to train a new generation of project professionals in terms of content and method, so that they are able to manage complex design processes in the world of products and services for children. The purpose is to provide methods and tools to coordinate very different skills and to move safely among tangible constraints, such as security and regulation, and abstract objectives such as cultural, cognitive, pedagogical, playful and ethical ones. The Master in Design for Kids & is organized in partnership with Assogiocattoli, which represents Italian manufacturers and distributors working in this industry. Italy generally excels in design (that means culture, method and practice of project and production) in several fields like fashion, food and creativity applied to multiple activities, but in the toy and childcare productions Italian design has yet to play a key role in building a recognizable identity. The “Design System” and “System of Enterprise”, shows significant episodes but certainly not a coherent and recognizable oversight in children’s products, in furniture for children, in the game and in the toy sector. From this scenario it comes a need in poly-technical and multi-skill training.
