This year's conference will feature workshops, training sessions, exhibitions, and other events aimed at achieving tangible results in the field of design, Ithra said.
It added that the conference "seeks to change the perception of failure by making setbacks a natural part of the design process."
"The conference also aims to embrace failure as part of the creative process, in which each experience offers lessons leading to innovative discoveries and valuable experiences that help the creative community continue to advance and turn challenges into opportunities for growth and success," the center said.
In line with the aims of the conference, Ithra called on creators and innovators to develop design solutions that enhance and enrich the Hajj experience through three main tracks: "Communication" to improve and develop guidance and direction services, "Waste Management" to reimagine the process during the Hajj season, and "Health" to find new ways to reduce pilgrims' fatigue.
It invited all interested parties to submit their projects before October 24 via the website: https://www.ithra.com/ar/special-programs/tanween/tanween-2024-fail-forw....
