Today we are joined by Elsie Ralston and Cristian Situ, co-founders and Co-Executive Directors of Sur Global. From Peru, we’re discussing the key role communities play in the professional development of designers, the disparity in the maturity of design across the region, and how to create spaces with a local purpose that inspire learning, connection, and action.
