Programme
seed projects The ‘seed projects’ have commenced, building networks for change across disciplines and sectors. They inform the development of briefs for the 2014 projects. 2011 is also Ireland’s ‘Year of Craft’ including Dublin’s hosting of the World Craft Council Conference in June, PIVOT Dublin’s World Design Capital bid will be contribute to this.
doing the groundwork 2012 is another interesting year for Ireland’s capital, with both Dublin’s designation as European Capital of Science and our hosting of the IxDA Interaction Design Conference. Dublin World Design Capital events will be held as part of both programmes, developing connections for our 2014 year both here and abroad. During this year, vital scoping and research to develop the 2014 projects further takes place. Also in 2012, we are looking forward to participating in Helsinki’s World Design Capital programme!
the ground is prepared 2013 is a year of intensive preparation! Workshops to gather stakeholders are part of the vital work of this year, continuing to build networks and engage with the people of Dublin and all communities of interest.

The Core Theme Projects
The series of key events which celebrate the designation, spread awareness and give the year structure and rhythm. An opportunity to celebrate the festival of the year!
These projects will have city-wide participation and an agenda of transformational change. They will draw diverse stakeholders together to examine a specific problem or opportunity; and seek new approaches which can be tested through participation by the city’s residents and businesses. These will set the agenda for each of the four themes during the year, giving a focus for events and programmes.
