>Until September 30: Icograda Education Manifesto
The year 2000 marks the closing of a century in which design flourished. It also inaugurates a next era. Graphic design is changing now. Modern design is nearly 100 years old. We have followed the Bauhaus principles and have revised very little. We must now redefine design education, our aims as designers, our request for future designers. We propose the formation of an Icograda Seoul Manifesto Committee to collaborate toward the preparation of a design manifesto for the year 2000. The manifesto will be brief, only 2 to 3 pages long.

This will be published and read at the Icograda Seoul Millennium Congress, September 2000.

The intention is to create a working document addressing the fundamental principles with which design education should concern itself. It is not intended to be the last word in design pedagogy, nor does it aims to prescribe a particular design philosophy. It intends, basically, to invite conscious reflection, the articulation of positions taken up by designers and the consideration of the board issues that surround design today.

We will invite a wide spectrum of design educators and practitioners from different parts of the world, representing different ages and sectors of society. The document, however brief, should include multiple concerns and viewpoints, and must avoid the temptation to pronounce a universal truth. We hope you will be willing to participate in this project. In the first stage we want to collect keywords. Just think about those words which represent fundamental design principles we should always embrace, and pass them on to us. The mechanics of participation will operate through a closed-user-group website.

Although this is presently conceived as a cug, we would like to have your suggestions about other ways of organising this project. We would also like your suggestions regarding other people or institutions or publications that you think should be invited.

Please send us their names and e-mail addresses. Our aim is to promote reflection about design and design education, and to reach a large number of contributors. We would not like to work behind closed doors and then publish a statement in the year 2000; we want to involve as many active people as we can in the exercise, and greet the millennium with a higher collective awareness about design and design education, dedicating the congress to the celebration of partnership rather than to the public celebrity of a few minds.

Please let us have your reaction to our invitation.
If you will participate, please send us your keywords by the end of September, 1999.
Sincerely,
Jorge Frascara, Univ. of Alberta, Chair of Icograda Education,
Ahn Sang-Soo, Hong-Ik University, Vice President of Icograda
