The importance of design and creativity

Design  is an asset of  high strategic value within the labor market thanks to its ability to bring innovation to companies in different areas. To be ahead and competitive in a globalized world requires the application of design management with guarantees of success, which is why the designer becomes an essential profile for any organization that wants to stand out from its competitors and boost its economic growth. 

Along with design and innovation, creativity is another of the most sought-after talents today. Companies prioritize the hiring of professionals in the creative sector to develop all kinds of projects with resolution and versatility but without sacrificing quality.

Sustainability and solidarity

During their training at LCI Barcelona, students learn to anticipate trends, challenge established paradigms and improve the world by taking into account elements such as sustainability and commitment to the environment and society.

Students work by applying these values to their projects according to the characteristics of each sector, while promoting collaborative and research methods with other areas to take advantage of the benefits of interdisciplinarity. Three very clear examples are the collaborations with B·SEArcular, Aflote and LibreGuard.

On the other hand, the LCI Education Foundation offers to the 17,000 students of the network spread over 5 continents the possibility to contribute their time, talent and effort to promote school perseverance, especially in emerging countries where LCI Education is present. The members of the LCI community can grow as citizens of the world thanks to this social participation program that has already carried out projects with Shakira's Pies Descalzos Foundation and Maman Dion Foundation.
