ENHANCING THE APPROACH TO DEVELOPING A COMMUNICATION CULTURE IN EMERGING DESIGNERS

Abstract: This article is dedicated to improving the methodology for developing communication culture among design students. Effective communication is crucial for designers who frequently collaborate across various disciplines and interact with diverse stakeholders. This research aims to improve the methodology of developing a communication culture in future designers by enhancing their ability to communicate effectively across different platforms and environments. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study examined existing educational practices in design programs across ten leading institutions. It identified key gaps in digital, interdisciplinary, and cross-cultural communication skills. Based on the research findings, new methodological approaches, recommendations were made to integrate advanced digital tools, interdisciplinary project collaborations, and comprehensive cultural sensitivity training into design curricula. The proposed enhancements aim to equip future designers with the necessary skills to navigate complex global projects and foster a robust communication culture in professional settings.
