Announcing the Mentors for the Student Exhibition 2019
Back for its second edition, Amman Design Week’s Student Exhibition is a connecting point for students from all educational institutions in Jordan. As the only cross-university and cross-disciplinary showcase in Jordan, it offers all students enrolled in high-schools and universities across the country a chance to kick-start their careers by joining a mentorship program and showcasing their work to our audiences.
Out of 172 applications received from over 20 universities and high schools across Jordan, only 33 students were selected to take part in the mentorship program, where they will design, develop, and produce a new original project that could be exhibited at Amman Design Week 2019.
This year’s student exhibition and mentorship program is supported by takween, a pilot program launched this year as a collaboration between platform and the Goethe-Institute Amman. The program supports designers and creative entrepreneurs in Jordan through a series of learning opportunities and community-building initiatives, and will be providing seed grants of 500 JOD to each student participating in the program.
