BELONGING – A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY FOR RADICAL INCLUSION

BELONGING is more than a way to create feelings of equity and acceptance. It involves our duty, and desire, to carve meaningful moments and spaces for radical inclusion, to bring people together and empower our community.

San Diego-Tijuana is a region with diverse neighborhoods aiming to connect and collaborate. As the World Design Capital 2024, we view our region as one community with limitless opportunities.

At World Design Experience powered by San Diego Design Week, BELONGING is our foundation. This year, we’re focusing on how design can bring people together and make everyone feel included. We aim to create a future where everyone in our community is embraced and supported.

Our program is organized by a dedicated team of volunteers, staff, advisors, and community partners from various design fields in the San Diego-Tijuana region. Since 2020, San Diego Design Week has celebrated our binational and multicultural design community with installations, panel discussions, studio tours, workshops, and more.

The future is here, and our region is in the global spotlight for 366 Days of Design. We aim to imagine and shape the San Diego-Tijuana region for the next 30 years, using the potential we have today.

To plan for the future, we need to start making progress now. World Design Capital San Diego-Tijuana 2024 is more than just a year; it’s a continuous effort to encourage collaboration and spark important discussions throughout our region.
