Be part of tomorrow's changes! Thanks to a collaborative approach based on ethics and a critical and participatory spirit, designers can help to think up and bring to life proposals that will ensure a sustainable future for humans and the planet. Designers do more than just imagine or design things. With a global approach, they work on the links that exist between the different ecosystems and fields of application of human experience: living conditions, food, climate, environment, education, health, mobility, etc. Our Design Transition[s] course will enable tomorrow's designers to understand and rethink these links, placing all living things at the centre of their concerns. They will learn to formulate and formalise a transformative vision to support social, environmental and/or ecological transitions. They will then be able to focus on the conditions under which the world is habitable, on any scale. The educational objectives of the Transition[s] Design program are to enable learners to: - Acquire and master expertise in the main fields of action of transport & mobility design in the face of current and future challenges, thanks to a multidisciplinary team and tailored training and programs, -Apply a project-based approach thanks to a modular curriculum and flexible teaching methods tailored to real-life issues, including a significant proportion of courses in English, -Integrate the humanities, social sciences and life sciences, taking a critical look at design to diagnose contemporary dysfunctions, - Draw on research: benefit from the expertise of a team of researchers to integrate the latest advances in design into the curriculum, - Adopt an ethical dimension to design, and become aware of the social and environmental responsibilities incumbent on future designers, - Collaborate with a dynamic ecosystem and interact with a network of partners and companies to orient and enrich training in line with current design requirements.
