The Centre of Excellence for Software Transfer (CEST) is an important international base for knowledge transfer and a platform for bilateral communication between China and Singapore. CEST shoulders the mission of carrying forward the fine cultures and knowledge between China and Singapore. As an outstanding transnational and cross-cultural strategic communication platform and a highly recognized hub with intellectual resources of both countries.
As part of the partnership between Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City, INDEX: and Guangzhou Development District, the INDEX: Design to Improve Life® team held a workshop on 10-13 December 2013 at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. The aim was to create a ‘Happy Guangzhou’ through the improvement of designs.
Being a city of 16 million residents, Guangzhou – situated in Southern China’s Pearl River Delta – faces many challenges such as urban planning, infrastructure, public transportation, waste management, pollution and co-existence. During the 4-day workshop, a team of trained facilitators from INDEX: Design to Improve Life® helped 64 participants address these challenges. These participants come from all walks of life, from business managers and civil engineers to industrial designers and school teachers.
