Description: | 'Imagining Possibilities' was a series of workshops which took place at UNHCR Malawi HQ in Dzaleka Refugee Camp, Malawi in November 2024. The title is taken from the 'Imagining possibilities' festival to celebrate 15 years of the Centre for Sustainable Fashion, (where Prof Helen Storey is a member) but with content delivered through an international lens. The workshops were focused on local co creation, knowledge exchange and research into imagining how a UAL design education might be delivered within a WhatsApp format. Following an introduction to META (Central Africa) and the ‘WhatsApp for good Foundation’ these workshops were convened to bring, young refugee makers/ entrepreneurs, local organisations, and a local university together to imagine and explore what kind of design education would be of value to the long-term displaced youth of Dzaleka; those who otherwise would have no access to higher education.
