　　The organizing committee of Icograda World Design Congress 2009 Beijing and the 1st Beijing Design Week is glad to announce the Greengaged-China sustainable design events, a collaboration between Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), British Council (China), Design for Social Innovation and Sustainability Network China (DESIS-China) and Greengaged (UK), as part of the congress in October 2009. This series of events include a pre-conference workshop, presentations at the professional conference and an exhibition.

　　Greengaged was first launched as the sustainable design hub of London Design Festival in 2008, organized by Thomas Matthews, Kingston University, [re]design and held at the Design Council in Covent Garden, London. Built on a successful programme of engaging events, Greengaged is spreading its reach for 2009 and going international!

　　From September to December 2009, Greengaged will be running a new programme of design events and workshops across the world. With an intent to demonstrate the importance of using and understanding design when tackling global climate change, Greengaged will be collecting insights and conclusions from its international events and taking them to the COP15 United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009 in Copenhagen.

　　In China, Greengaged are working with partners such as Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy, Design for Social Innovation and Sustainability Network China (DESIS-China) to run sustainable design events. Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), a lead organiser of the Icograda World Design Congress 2009 Beijing, is committed to sustainable design and keen to host Greengaged-China as a session of the congress. In response to the theme of the conference, Greengaged-China aims to engage the wider design industry in getting involved, becoming informed and sharing expertise and opinions. Greengaged-China will also be running as part of the British Council’s “China-UK Creative Entrepreneurs” events to explore how creative entrepreneurs can contribute to a sustainable future.

　　As it has done in the UK, Greengaged-China will initiate workshops, debates, excursions and exhibitions in an exciting programme of events. Featuring some of the most forward-thinking designers and innovators in the fields of design and sustainability, the programme will cover:

　　• An introduction on sustainable design thinking, knowledge and practices

　　• A dialogue on sustainable design between international sustainable design experts and Chinese design community.

　　• Case studies of the latest sustainable design initiatives

　　• Successful experiences of creative entrepreneurs in sustainable design business

　　• Explanation and discussion on how sustainability can be built into the design process

　　• Good practice guidance from sustainable design experts

　　• Vision on opportunities, trends and future development
