D&AD Education Network

A place for sharing ideas and resources, for making connections and starting debates.

Join our worldwide community of creative educators and we'll support you in nurturing the next generation of creative talent. We'll help your education practice stay in step with industry developments and we'll make sure that your students and graduates are given every opportunity to develop their skills and realise their potential.

If you're a tutor who's interested in the future of creativity then we'd like to hear from you.

What tutors say about the D&AD Education Network

“We’ve benefited in so many ways – visiting speakers, work placements, building relationships with other courses and inspirational online presentations. If anyone is looking for guidance on delivering professional practice to students this is one hell of a starting place – if not all you need.”

- Olwen Moseley, Cardiff School of Art & Design, UWIC

"…An unprecedented number of interview and placement opportunities arose as a direct result of exhibiting at New Blood.”

- Gary Gowans, Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design

“Thank you for the day at D&AD Judging – it was a fantastic experience for us, we had such an amazing day. We spent the whole train journey home talking about everything & re-writing our courses based on what we saw & heard. It was a real privilege to see and feel part of the whole thing, and by far the best staff development we have had for years.”

- Mark Jackson, University of Wales

A unique opportunity to promote your course and get your students seen

This event is a magnet for the creative community. Practitioners come to make job offers and arrange placements. Journalists come to spot the future stars and new trends. School leavers come to explore their options and find the best courses for them.

A month of international festival activity will take place in the run up to the exhibition featuring events, portfolio surgeries, talks and workshops held in some of the world's leading studios and agencies. It's all designed to help your graduating students launch their careers by putting them face to face with industry.

Exhibiting at New Blood is exclusive to members of the D&AD Education Network.

Taking part costs £1500.
