[IxDA Discuss] New Interaction Design Institute in Brazil

[Frederick van Amstel]

I´m proud to present the first brazilian Interaction Design Institute
called Faber-Ludens.

http://www.faberludens.com.br/?q=en

Faber Ludens Institute is a non-profit organization to promote Design
and Technology in Brazil by integrating Market and Academy. Faber
Ludens focuses on communication technologies, a prominent field for
research and education with high demands in our country.

Our Goals:
- To consolidate Interaction Design field in Brazil by
- Qualifying Interaction Design professionals and
- Becoming an international reference in Interaction Design

At this moment, we´re working with the local OpenOffice.org community,
researching social network appropriation, translating to portuguese
fundamental texts about interaction design, and offering a
Specialization Course on Interaction Design (brazilian Post-graduate
educational level).

We are open to collaborate with other research programmes, companies
and individuals.
