Description
MEDS is a network that hosts annual workshops for young people with an interest in design. The ‘Workshop’ is a two-week event that takes place in August each year, and is the main ‘meeting’ of MEDS. Within the workshop there are number of projects led by Tutors (design students or professionals), who have applied to create their concept – along with their team of eager and talented Participants – during the Workshop. The Workshop has a central theme that all of the projects are based on. This year it is “Ground Zero” – a chance to start a new, as if we are the only people left to rebuild civilisation on Tara.

Organising team provides the framework, materials, and programme, the Tutors detail and oversee individual projects during the workshop. Participants are assigned to projects based on their choices according to the ‘Happiness Algorithm’ (an unbiased distribution of participants according to gender, nationality and preference). They then collaborate with the Tutor to complete a project, and at the end of the two weeks, they will present their work to the other participants and local people.
