EDIDesK is an open-access platform that provides design learners, educators and researchers tools to explore how equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) can transform design education and practice.
Join a growing community of people transforming how we learn and make through design. Start exploring: explore concepts step by step in our itineraries, dive into our repository, check key terms in our glossary or share your own research to help build more equitable design futures.
