In late 2012 TED launched a new elective program at Konstfack in Stockholm, Sweden, encouraging students to create their own Manifesto for Creative Innovation following a five-week course designed by TED.
This new course proposal was shaped by the outcomes of 14 sessions on sustainable design led by TED with Chelsea MA Textile Design students between October 2011 and April 2012.
The team delivered the course between February and March 2013 to an inter-disciplinary group of students and the outcomes were documented in an exhibition. The educational purpose of the course was to offer the students design-led and practice-based approaches for sustainability that they can incorporate and build upon throughout their studies.
