Every year, Vital -- The Tel Aviv Centre for Design Studies organises the FestiVital, during which leading international designers conduct workshops with Vital students, present lectures to the general public and exhibit their works. The FestiVital has become a central event on the Israeli design calendar and is an opportunity for the entire design community, including students and professionals, to come together and discuss current developments.
Each participant presents a lecture to the general public, and conducts a week-long workshop with one of our classes. We make sure that everyone has a good time, is wined and dined, and has an opportunity to see the country. We take care of the airline tickets and the hotel room. The invitation is for ten days.
Amongst past participants in FestiVitals are: Michael Amzalag, Philippe Apeloig, Ron Arad, Mathias Augustyniak, Pierre Bernard, Ashley Booth, Neville Brody, David Carson, Seymour Chwast, David Crow, Pierre diSciullio, Hendrik Dorgathen, Genevieve Gauckler, Chris Hales, Orosz Istvan, Phillip Joe, Sadik Karamustafa, Siobhan Keaney, Alex Manu, Javier Mariscal, Paula Scher, Erik Spiekermann, Deborah Sussman, Toffe, Teal Triggs, Arnout Visser, Henning Wagenbreth and some 20 other leading designers and illustrators.
While the lectures and exhibitions draw many participants from all over the country, the project is aimed particularly towards students and young designers. Design in Israel is in a developing stage, and there is little opportunity for students to come into contact with current design. The FestiVital is also an important opportunity to broaden contacts with colleagues in the area. In the past, the FestiVital has drawn Palestinian, Jordanian and Turkish participants.

Icograda Millennium Congress Oullim 2000 Seoul
Endorsed by Icograda
Venue: COEX, Seoul, Korea

Oullim is a pure Korean word meaning the great harmony. As we approach the end of the 20th century, a century of counterpoint, we are also stepping up to the dawn of a new millennium. We intend for our gathering to be an opportunity to retrace the last 100 years of design history, to review where we are, and to discuss the future. Hence we have decided on Oullim as our key concept. It refers to harmony in the upcoming age between nature, mankind, and machines, as well as to harmony between north and south, east and west, and the past, present and future.
