The future is most definitely interdisciplinary and our courses are designed to cater to our ever changing world. The most attractive potential candidates in career pools are now, well rounded and possess a multitude of skills – they should score high on aptitude but also have a keen understanding of global trends, competitive edge and be well versed in the latest technology. Our Design Lokaya Open House will introduce anyone interested into the potential avenues you can pursue in order to become a future leader and success story.
Students are introduced to the importance of Sri Lankan roots and talent. At AOD, we believe that the future of design begins with celebrating everything Local. This year, we focus on The New Local going Global. Studying at AOD, students get to learn from those within the grass-root level. This enables designers to celebrate local craftsmanship, but also be innovative and integrate futuristic design thinking to local crafts. Thereby enabling our students to push Sri Lankan products and craft in the lucrative global arena.
With this in mind, you can expect some exciting tours arranged for future students and interested parents alike. You will be guided throughout the Open Day activities. Some of the exciting events lined up include a mini fashion show, styling workshops, an introductory exhibition of student’s work, live sketch workshops and a variety of fun and topical design workshops! We expect our visitors to participate and join in on the fun! This way, you get to choose whether design is the right journey you wish to follow for your future.
This design day is also perfect if you are a corporate or firm that wishes to meet fresh talent who are about to start their journey in the design world. You will interact with our fresh crop of designers to get a feel for the beat of our youthful, blossoming designers who you will be able to work with as they graduate in the future.
At AOD, students who are OL graduates are able to join the design foundation program directly to get a head start on their career.
