Welcome to the first webinar in our DesignEuropa Mentoring Series – From Emerging Talent to Design Legacy: kicking off a series of three sessions in the lead-up of the 2026 DesignEuropa Awards.
📅 Starting Strong: The Next Generation Mindset Date: 2 June 2025 ⏰ Time: 10:00–10:30 CEST 📍 Format: Virtual (Zoom)
This session will feature David Borovic, winner of the DesignEuropa Awards 2025, in a dynamic, conversational exchange—not a formal lecture—exploring four pivotal themes for aspiring designers:
The Spark: How strong ideas emerge—inspiration vs. research and recognising “groundbreaking” potential.
From Concept to Execution: Refining ideas without losing their essence, and the tools/collaborations that help.
Overcoming Roadblocks: A pivotal early challenge in David’s career and the lessons it taught him.
Advice for the Next Generation: One piece of wisdom to help aspiring designers nurture their strongest ideas.
This is a unique opportunity to engage with a leading voice in design and gain actionable insights about the EU’s creative ecosystem.
We encourage you to share this invitation widely within your institution, your networks and with your students. Let’s inspire the next generation of designers together!
