27–30 May, Southern Sweden Design Days 2021 kicks off! The theme for 2021 is “1+1=3”. Southern Sweden Design Days’ mission is to be an inclusive, sustainable, exploratory and experimental event, where the combination of collaborations, knowledge sharing and entertainment is central.
Website plays a central role
southernswedendesigndays.com will become the heart of Southern Sweden Design Days’ content. Thus, it should be easy for visitors to take part in the program and we are therefore expanding the digital platform to gather everything in one place. The design and content of your program page will play an important role this year, in order for visitors to take part in your self-produced film material, seminars, workshops or similar on your program page. We also recommend you write on your page how you have adapted your location to receive visitors, in order for them to feel safe. From 7 April onwards, you’ll be able to update your program. The deadline for completing texts and images on the website is 18 April. Finally, your program will be published at the start of May.
Video content published during the event days
There is a new section on your program page where you can paste a link to your video content. If the material consists of a video available on Vimeo or YouTube, we will embed it so that visitors can enjoy it directly on the website. The deadline to paste this link is 16 May. The link or the embedded video will be published at the start of the event days.
