10/09/2024 (Agence Europe) – The EU Delegation to Vietnam has launched the EU-Vietnam Sustainable Design Awards (EVSDA), promoting sustainable design through a mix of arts, technology and social inclusion. This initiative, in partnership with ELLE Decoration Vietnam, aims to contribute to Vietnam’s sustainable and inclusive development, which is one of the priorities of the EU’s engagement with the country. The initiative will feature events and workshops between September 2024 and spring 2025 focusing on architecture, product design, communication design and innovation, as well as an awards ceremony in mid-2025. Led by European and Vietnamese experts, these workshops aim to encourage collaboration in sustainable creative design. The project will subsequently become an annual event, and a digital platform for sharing ideas will also be created. (PLD)
