With less than ten days to go, IKEA Foundation’s head of communication Jonathan Spampinato sends out a final call to the worldwide creative community to enter ground breaking ideas for the reception and integration of refugees to the WDCD Refugee Challenge.
IKEA Foundation teams up with the UN Refugee Agency UNHCR and What Design Can Do in the WDCD Refugee Challenge that challenges designers and creative thinkers from around the world to come up with new design solutions which will help refugees in urban areas. The call for entries closes on May 20th. Both existing and new ideas can be entered. For details go to www.whatdesigncando.com/challenge
