ICOGRADA COLLABORATES ON DESIGN 21: HEATED ISSUE JURY
16.06.2007 News
Montreal (Canada) - The impact of climate change is a heated issue,
sparking controversy in political and scientific arenas. Most agree,
however, that humans are largely responsible for generating the
conditions that are driving the problem.
'Heated Issue', one of three competitions developed by UNESCO's Design 21: Social Design Network asked participants to create an educational campaign to raise public awareness of the problem of global warming and the contribution of our daily lifestyle and activities to this phenomenon. The aim of the campaign is to provoke people to think about the issue and how their individual consumer choices and energy consumption play into the equation.
Icograda is pleased collaborate with UNESCO by joining its Advisory Board, acting as supporters and advisors to DESIGN 21: Social Design Network. Members include opinion leaders in the fields of design, education, business, media and public affairs. This dynamic group not only helps promote the Network, but participates in competition juries, publicity events and other initiatives.
Icograda Board Member Omar Vulpinari (Republic of San Marino) is one of six international jurors who will review the entries submitted to the 'Heated Issue' competion. Mr. Vulpinari is creative director of the Visual Communication Department at Fabrica, the Benetton communications center.
Other jury members include:
