    Mentorship for the British Council and Design Council and the Philippines


    The Creative Innovators Programme drives the synergy between creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship for social impact. It aims to contribute to more sustainable and impact-led creative hubs that can better support the Philippines’ creative industries, thereby creating more inclusive cities and communities.

    SEADS was asked by the British Council to join the CIP program in the capacity of mentors for the Design Center of t he Philippines. We facilitated a series of one on one workshops regarding design thinking and data visualisation techniques.
