Honorary Committee

DESIGN 21’s Honorary Committee consists of influential figures who have contributed greatly to a particular charitable effort, who are vocal, visible champions of global causes represented by our nine UNESCO-supported themes: Education, Aid, Poverty, Community, Environment, Communication, Arts & Culture, Peace and Well-being.

Our Honorary Committee members will be announced soon, so please stay tuned!

Advisory Board

Having contact with key people in different fields is how DESIGN 21 stays relevant and energized. Our Advisory Board members act as supporters and advisors to DESIGN 21: Social Design Network. They include opinion leaders in the fields of design, education, business, media and public affairs. This dynamic group not only helps promote the Network, but participates in competition juries, publicity events and other initiatives.
