Initiative: IDS student self-government

From October 12 to November 14, 2022, as a result of winning the internal IDS competition, students of the International Design School of Georgian Technical University, Ani Basilashvili and Aleksandre Kalandadze, visited Munich, Germany, for a one-month internship. The practice was led by IDS manager Nino Akhobadze. The annual trip of IDS students to Germany is covered by a memorandum of understanding between GTU and the German businessman, artist and philanthropist Klaus Hipp. In accordance with the pre-agreed plan, our students participated in the creation of works for the conference hall of one of the famous monasteries in Bavaria. Students studied the history of the Bavarian royal family, the Wittelsbachs, 16th century aristocratic clothing fashion, practiced the concept of design thinking, visited museums, worked in libraries, refined their drawing and figure drawing skills, and mastered oil painting techniques. German colleagues highly appreciated the work done by our students.
