Abstract:

Toward the common goal of sustainable consumption experiences, effective and efficient education methods and expertise can vary a lot in Finland and in Asia reflecting relevant characteristics. The goal of“Finland-Asia Network for Sustainable Experience Design Education” (SEDE-FAN) project is to build the network of higher education institutes in Finland and in Asia so that successful efforts in Sustainable Experience Design education in Finland and in Asia can be shared. Also learnings acquired in not-so-successful trials in such educational endeavors can also be communicated. In this way, the knowledge and principles underpinning such educational methods and expertise can be collected, stored, exchanged, retrieved, reused and enhanced through SEDE-FAN. This paper will report the findings of the first year efforts in the SEDE-FAN project where two institutions in Finland, one in Singapore and one in Korea have conducted sustainable experience design eduction efforts. Particular focus will be placed on how different education contexts are related with respective sustainble experience design education efforts. Discussions on how to reflect cultural and regional contexts as well as educational intent in sustainable experience design education will be included.
