Creativity and social responsibility are not opposing ideas.
\nTo create something new is also to consider the society and future it will become part of.<\/p>\n

Through encounters with specialists from fashion, art, the environment, journalism, culture, film, and industry, the semi-finalists were exposed to diverse perspectives and approaches.<\/p>\n

What did they discover through these different voices?
\nAnd how will those discoveries shape what they create next?[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_padding_top=”padding-top-20″ row_padding_bottom=”padding-bottom-20″][vc_column width=”1\/2″]\"DSC00155\"[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″]\"DSC00183\"[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_padding_top=”padding-top-40″ row_padding_bottom=”padding-bottom-10″ css=”.vc_custom_1788422426254{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1748320180643{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][wr_vc_titles text_align=”text-left” title_style=”headline-m” padding_top=”padding-top-30″ padding_bottom=”padding-bottom-30″][wr_vc_title title=”Lectures by EXPERT MENTORES”][\/wr_vc_titles][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_padding_top=”no-padding-top” row_padding_bottom=”padding-bottom-60″][vc_column width=”1\/2″]
