Abstract

This webpage and interactive map tracks workshops and collaboration between actors across The British Council's Making Matters programme and Circular Design Lab.

British council’s ADF department and Ellen MacArthur Foundation developed a new programme in 2018 focusing on the future of design and making. The programme aims to nurture cross-cultural collaboration and mutual exchange around the topic of circularity, on a global level. The 2018 pilot took place with leaders from design communities in Southeast Asia and the UK. The next chapter of the Lab will see leaders in the field of circular design from Sub Saharan Africa take part in a series of design workshops in London this November.

10 designers with backgrounds in circular fashion, making, design, built environment and product, this years cohort of designers are from 10 different countries in Sub Saharan Africa: Zimbabwe, South Africa, Malawi, Zambia, Mauritius, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal and Mozambique.
