What Is MEDS Workshop?
Meeting of Design Students (MEDS) is an international non-profit organization led by students and young professionals in architecture, design, and other creative fields. Through events and gatherings, MEDS celebrates diverse cultures, explores urban structures, and pushes creative boundaries. Our interests encompass design, architecture, urbanism, photography, and other creative disciplines. Participants have the opportunity to exchange ideas, broaden their knowledge, and form lasting friendships with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. These events and workshops foster an international environment where educational and cultural themes are seamlessly intertwined.
The core program of MEDS Workshop 2025 consists of interdisciplinary project workshops held at selected locations, allowing participants to acquire traditional and contemporary techniques with a focus on innovation, sustainability, and environmental awareness. The scheduled program is complemented by guest lectures from local experts in art, design, architecture, and related fields, fostering collaboration and meaningful connections between international participants and the local community.
Since its beginnings in 2010, MEDS Workshop has been hosted in a different country each year, highlighting its commitment to diversity and global collaboration. Previous editions have taken place, e.g., in Belgium, Lebanon, Greece, Poland, Spain, and Armenia.
