]]> Call for regional meetings, seminars, exhibitions, shows, workshops and etc.

Since more than 30 years, Cumulus is the only global association serving education and
research in art, design and media. To unleash the massive potential of Cumulusians and
their home institutions, we get together as the only true global community unleashing all
barriers, celebrating, and drumming education and research in all our disciplines to impact
by aligning especially local members and stakeholders strengthening economic, social,
cultural, and environmental development around the world aligned with what Cumulus was
founded for: Sharing knowledge and best practices.

Cumulus Regional Meeting offers a unique opportunity to intensify the connections
between members in our growing Cumulus family. The traditional Cumulus conferences
twice every year may not enough release the value of such a great association for its
inclusivity of the global community. After some pilot successful regional meetings in 2023 in
China and Japan have shown the value of getting together in driving the collective action
even in a minimalistic format, we open the Call for Cumulus Regional in 2024.

aligned with the upgrading of Kyoto Design Declaration.
A Signature Event.

Cumulus calls for our members to apply to organize Cumulus Design Education Day and now as first ever event to raise the awareness and impact of education and research in our disciplines. We ensure the planet can thrive.

Cumulus upgrades Kyoto Design Declaration signed in March 2008 in Kyoto Japan, that made us proud it was done in the same venue of Kyoto Protocol of 2000. We are responsible and want the new edition of this declaration helps all of us to accelerate its impact. This first day is a strong mechanism to punch Kyoto Design Declaration upgrading to take place in connecting its signing with the first ever Cumulus Design Education Day.
