Passion Projects

For some, design means making things beautiful. At IIE-Vega, design is a way to solve complex problems - a crucial skill in the context of the Global South. IIE Graphic Design, Digital Design and Interior Design students were briefed to design solutions to the challenges affecting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s).

The core steps of the project were to:

  • Pick an SDG that the student felt passionate about
  • Analyse the problem in the context of their community (ranging from the global village to the microcosm of their class)
  • Conduct in-depth primary and secondary research
  • Design a conceptual solution
 

THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED: MENTAL HEALTH

Based on research findings within the Eldorado Park community, the student came up with a conceptual solution that utilises street pole posters linked to a mobile application to put young people in Eldorado Park in touch with potential Mentors in the community. The idea ... is that, with people working from home, young people can get an opportunity to job-shadow community members who are working from home and get some exposure to what different jobs entail. In addition, Mentors in the community donate time to offer short courses and mentorships that will provide young people with some skills that might improve their chances of getting internships and some work experience. Lastly, the solution will include a mobile app where internship opportunities are posted and where young people can apply.
