interdisciplinarity, and globalisation in design education. We start with
personal reflections about our journeys as designers and educators travelling around the world, studying and working in different countries, and how being exposed to different cultures changed our perception of the world, our professional disciplines, and our ideas about education. Subsequently, we discuss our teaching experiences together, especially through a series of study tours conducted initially with graphic and industrial design students, and which scaled up to include more than 80 students from five different institutions. Finally, we offer some conclusions around cross-cultural design education.

Throughout the discussions about globalisation and design, what has been missing until now are deliberations regarding necessary changes towards a design education which puts conceptual acting in the context of global movements and problem situations.
This publication pleads for a revision of design education. It addresses students, teachers, and design practitioners. On the basis of concrete examples, concepts, methods and tools are presented for discussion. They can open up new directions and possibilities of design education.
Consequently, this book focuses on design students’ experiences and reflections as contributions to a design education understood as a school for differentiated perception. The local level – the respective Cultural Space – is appreciated as the actual hot spot of globalisation.
The book offers reports, case studies, analyses, and reflections by lecturers, artists, and students about their working experiences in Uzbekistan, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Nigeria, Botswana, South Sudan, India, Canada, Albania, the USA and others.
